The Lafayette Police Department officers who fatally shot a Black man outside a gas station will not face charges, Don Landry, the 15th Judicial District Attorney, said at a press conference Tuesday.
Ron Haley, the attorney for the family of 31-year-old Trayford Pellerin, confirmed the grand jury would not return a true bill of indictment right before the press conference was scheduled with Landry. Pellerin was fatally shot outside a north Lafayette gas station by police on Aug. 21.
The grand jury considered a second degree murder charge, and lesser charges were not considered. Landry said his office would not release the names of the officers involved.
The family of Trayford Pellerin and their attorney were angry and frustrated after a grand jury declined to charge the Lafayette police officers who fatally shot him.
