Victims getting shot by the police happens regularly to non-rich people in regular homes. I would say the risk is at least less than normal, because rich neighborhoods can afford better police services. However, it’s still definitely not zero and is definitely much higher than for white people.
Edit: I appreciate that the comment below was removed, but for that person:
"In those instances in which the victim appeared to pose a minimal-or-less threat to police, based on the data we had, Black people were three times as likely to be killed,” Miller says. “That doesn’t mean the police didn’t feel threatened. But based on the reports that we were able to to look at, a very low level of threat was directed at the police. And in those specific cases, the numbers rose for Black people: They made up 36 percent of the deaths.”

Oh I thought it was the factually misleading statements about black people that was racist.
For the record, you are wrong
