Shreveport police officer Alexander Tyler has been charged with negligent homicide nearly two weeks after shooting and killing Alonzo Bagley, an unarmed Black man, earlier this month, according to Louisiana State Police.
Black man as he fled his home earlier this month was arrested on Thursday morning, according to Louisiana State Police.
“Detectives with the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations have reviewed body worn camera footage and other relevant evidence,”. “Based on their findings and in coordination with the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office, Troopers arrested Shreveport Police Officer Alexander Tyler this morning.”
“Oh, Lord. Oh, God. You shot me,” Bagley, who had his empty hands in the air, told the officer, according to the filing. Tyler and another officer called to the scene attempted to administer aid, but he was later pronounced dead. In one of the bodycam videos released, two officers can be seen knocking on the door of Bagley’s apartment. He answers with a liquor bottle in hand and declines to step outside, then claims he needs to put his dog away and walks back into the apartment.
