Jean Charles da Silva de Menezes (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʒeˈɐ̃ ˈʃaʁliz dʒi meˈnezis]; 7 January 1978 – 22 July 2005) was a Brazilian man fatally shot by the Metropolitan Police Service at Stockwell Station of the London Underground, after being mistakenly identified as one of the fugitives from the previous day's failed bombing attempts. These attempts occurred two weeks after the 7 July 2005 London bombings, in which 52 people were killed. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) launched two investigations: Known as Stockwell 1 and Stockwell 2. The findings of Stockwell 1—initially withheld from the public—concluded that none of the officers would face disciplinary charges, while Stockwell 2 strongly criticized the police command structure and its communication with the public.
