The Shreveport, Louisiana, police officer charged in the February shooting death of Alonzo Bagley, an unarmed Black man, has been charged with a second felony count related to the incident.
Alexander Tyler was charged in February with negligent homicide for Bagley’s death. A second criminal charge, felony malfeasance in office, has now been added, his attorney, Dhu Thompson, told CNN. Tyler pleaded not guilty to both charges Monday, Thompson said. Each felony carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, and if he is found guilty, the court could impose the sentences concurrently or consecutively.
After a brief foot chase, Tyler shot Bagley, who was later found to be unarmed, state police said. Investigators have released body camera video and a 911 call related to the shooting, which happened less than a month after the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis officers after a traffic stop. Nichols’ case reignited a national conversation about police use of force against people of color, particularly Black Americans.
