In a significant legal development, a grand jury indictment was revealed on Friday, charging a former Los Angeles police officer with the shooting death of an unarmed homeless man in Venice back in May 2015. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office shared this update.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Clifford Proctor entered a plea of not guilty to the second-degree murder charge.

The incident involved the death of 29-year-old Brendan Glenn, who was fatally shot during an altercation with officers outside a bar following a confrontation with a bouncer. Glenn’s death became a prominent symbol for those protesting police shootings in Los Angeles. Both Glenn and the officer, Proctor, are Black.

The indictment was issued after a reexamination of four use-of-force cases by the former District Attorney, George Gascón, including the case involving Proctor. This reexamination was part of a broader review of incidents involving law enforcement officers.

Current District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who succeeded Gascón following a November election victory, stated that he would assess the case further to determine whether to continue with the prosecution.

Proctor’s lawyer, Anthony “Tony” Garcia, questioned the timing of the charges and noted that prosecutors declined to charge his client in 2018, according to the Times.

In 2018, LA District Attorney Jackie Lacey declined to press charges, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove Proctor acted unlawfully when he used deadly force.

Glenn was on his stomach and trying to push himself up when Proctor shot him in the back, according to police. He wasn’t trying to take a gun from Proctor or his partner when he was shot, and Proctor’s partner told investigators that he didn’t know why the officer opened fire, police have said.

Proctor resigned from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2017. The city paid $4 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit that was brought by Glenn’s relatives.

Proctor, 60, remains in jail. His next court date is Nov. 3.
