A grand jury in Kentucky has declined to indict a police officer in the fatal shooting of an armed Black man during a standoff
Kentucky State Police presented evidence about the fatal shooting last year of Desman LaDuke, 22, during a mental health crisis and the panel opted not to indict Nicholasville Police Officer Joseph Horton, news outlets reported Thursday.Police were called to LaDuke’s home in Nicholasville on Oct. 22, 2022.
LaDuke’s family has said the police response escalated the situation. They called the grand jury’s decision “confusing” and “unfortunate,” according to a family representative, Sam Aguiar, who spoke with the Lexington Herald-Leader. “Desman’s family are not naive, and they know historically that KSP investigations do not typically result in indictments. They were prepared for that.
Aguiar said grand jury proceedings are conducted in secret in Kentucky and it’s unclear what evidence was presented to grand jurors.
