2 officers involved in Bijan Ghaisar killing sue department: report
Two U.S. Park Police officers involved in the 2017 deadly shooting of Bijan Ghaisar are suing the interior department, according to a report on the Washington Post.
Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard are requesting the court force the interior department to issue a ruling about their employment.
Both officers have been on paid administrative leave since the shooting.
Ghaisar, 25, was unarmed when he was shot ten times after a slow speed chase along the George Washington Memorial Parkway. At the time federal prosecutors said there was 'insufficient evidence' to file charges. in 2020, a Fairfax County grand jury indicted both men on manslaughter.
The indictment was later tossed out.
