White Louisiana police officer arrested after fatal shooting of unarmed Black man

LA Times  

An image from a police body-cam video shows Shreveport Police Officer Alexander Tyler after the shooting of Alonzo Bagley, an unarmed Black man, on Feb. 3. A white Louisiana officer was arrested Thursday in connection with the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man who was trying to flee police responding to a domestic disturbance call earlier this month, authorities said. “Upon rounding a corner of the building, Officer Tyler observed Mr. Bagley and fired one shot from his service weapon, which struck Mr. Bagley in the chest,” Col. Lamar Davis, the superintendent of Louisiana State Police, said at a news conference earlier this month. It’s an incident that we see far too often around this country.” During the news conference, Xavier Sudds said he hoped his brother’s death “means something.” Louisiana has had multiple high-profile fatal police shootings — including the ones involving Greene and Alton Sterling, a Black man who was shot and killed by an officer outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge after being wrestled to the ground.
