Victor Demarius Steen was a young male who was killed when struck by a Pensacola Police cruiser.

Steen was struck and killed by the cruiser of Pensacola Police Officer Jerald Ard while riding his bicycle in the Brownsville neighborhood of Pensacola. Officer Ard claims to have spotted Steen at an empty construction site around 1:50 AM and attempted to stop him for questioning. Ard then assumed Steen was trying to flee and proceeded to tase him from the window of his moving police cruiser. Steen was then struck by the cruiser and dragged until the cruiser came to a stop at a median in an empty parking lot at the corner of Cervantes and R Streets. Steen was pronounced dead at the scene.
