According to The Counted, 118 people died in police-related killings during the 31 days of July, good for the highest tally of deaths this year. While authorities continue to investigate the controversial death of Sandra Bland in a Texas jail cell, her unfortunate passing did not continue to this tally.

One of the more prominent of these deaths was that of Sam DuBose, who was senselessly killed at a traffic stop on July 19. DuBose’s killer’s trial is set to begin next month.
