'''Linda Davis''' (52, U.S. citizen) died on 2026-02-16 during or as a result of a ICE operation, in Savannah / Chatham County, Georgia (Truman Parkway area). A K-8 special-education teacher on her morning commute was killed when Oscar Vasquez Lopez (38, sought on a 2024 deportation order) fled an ICE traffic stop, ran a red light/made an illegal turn, and crashed into her car.

== Official account ==
DHS issued a "Deadly Evasion" release blaming the fleeing driver and said it is investigating; Lopez charged with vehicular homicide and driving without a valid license.

== What is documented ==
* '''Person:''' Linda Davis, age 52; U.S. citizen.
* '''Location:''' Savannah / Chatham County, Georgia (Truman Parkway area).
* '''Agency:''' ICE.
* '''Cause:''' vehicle crash — bystander killed by a driver fleeing an ICE stop.
* '''Circumstance:''' A K-8 special-education teacher on her morning commute was killed when Oscar Vasquez Lopez (38, sought on a 2024 deportation order) fled an ICE traffic stop, ran a red light/made an illegal turn, and crashed into her car.

== Scrutiny of the official account ==
''Grounded in the sourced record below; this documents the dispute rather than asserting a conclusion.''

* '''Status / dispute:''' Disputed — Savannah Mayor Van Johnson and Chatham County Commission chair publicly questioned whether the pursuit was necessary.
