NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Prosecutors in Tennessee who are preparing for the first-degree murder trial of a Nashville police officer next month may try to call a law enforcement expert witness who served similarly in the case against Derek Chauvin in George Floyd’s death.
A judge will consider whether to let Jody Stiger, a Los Angeles Police Department sergeant, take the stand to testify against Officer Andrew Delke. The white officer, now 27, is to stand trial next month in the fatal shooting of Daniel Hambrick, a 25-year-old Black man who was shot from behind in July 2018 while fleeing from the officer on foot and while carrying a gun.

Police officer Andrew Delke still has not been tried for the murder of Daniel Hambrick. It has been more than two and a half years since Delke shot Hambrick during a foot chase in Nashville, Tennessee.
Delke, a white police officer who was 25 at the time of the shooting, has been charged with first-degree murder for shooting Daniel Hambrick, a 25-year old Black Nashvillian, in the back during a foot chase following a traffic stop in North Nashville on July 26, 2018. Delke, was caught on camera running after Hambrick, who was armed, for blocks. At no point was Hambrick seen reaching for a gun; he instead appeared to be running for his life.
