The officer who shot and killed Stephen Perkins is on administrative leave during the investigation.
Robert Lockwood was hired by the city of Decatur to help with the investigation of the police shooting of Stephen Perkins. Mayor Tab Bowling and Chief Todd Pinion also spoke at a press conference on Oct. 26, 2023.
“My main goal is to ensure that the city of Decatur promptly and diligently complies with the obligations imposed by Alabama law for the employment of police officers,” Lockwood explained at the press conference today. “The first step is for the City of Decatur Police Department to complete its investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the September 29th, 2023 event. Upon completion of that investigation, the Chief of Police will forward any findings to the City of Decatur Legal Office and to my office. And then we will determine what disciplinary action, if any, is appropriate.
“We recognize the community’s and our own desire for a speedy investigation, but this must not sacrifice the integrity of the administrative investigation as well,” Pinion said at today’s press conference. “So we’re continuing in that process and moving right along.”
