A Mississippi grand jury finds “no criminal conduct” by a law enforcement officer who fatally shot a Black teenager last fall outside a discount store.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation examined the case, as it does with all shootings involving law enforcement officers. Fitch said in a statement that her office presented information from that investigation to a Harrison County grand jury earlier this month.Because the grand jury declined to indict anyone in the shooting, Fitch said her office will take no further action in the case.
McMillan’s death has prompted protests in Gulfport, with local residents, Black Lives Matter group members, national civil rights figures and other activists demanding the officer involved be charged and calling for the release of police body camera footage of the shooting.Gulfport police said in a news release soon after the shooting that it occurred after they responded to a 911 call about several minors waving guns at other motorists.
Gulfport Police Chief Adam Cooper said an officer confronted an armed suspect, since identified as McMillan, resulting in shots being fired. He said police took four other suspects into custody, and several firearms were recovered from the scene.In a video taken by a bystander after the shots were fired, McMillan could be seen on the ground in front of the door to the store. A witness said police handcuffed the teenager after he had been shot.
