A Connecticut State Police trooper was arrested on a felony manslaughter charge after a report by the state inspector general alleged his use of deadly force was not justified in the January 2020 shooting of a 19-year-old Black man.
From the years 1980 to 2019, data from the study showed there were 30,800 deaths from police violence in the United States.
Delvin's investigation found that Soulemane was sitting behind the wheel of the car surrounded by troopers and officers from other agencies and was trapped inside because North's cruiser was blocking the driver's side door. North, a seven-year veteran of the Connecticut State Police, was booked on a charge of first-degree manslaughter with a firearm, Devlin said in a statement. North was released on $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Milford on May 3.North was placed on administrative leave and his police powers have been suspended pending criminal proceedings, according to state police.A memorial sign for Mubarak Soulemane lies on the ground following a protest on Aug.
The driver alleged that Soulemane demanded his cellphone and slapped him on the side of the head when he refused, the report says. The driver told police he drove to a gas station and got out of the car, pulling a gun on Soulemane and flagging down a police officer, according to the report.Trooper claims he was protecting officers
