Connecticut State Trooper Brian North has been charged with manslaughter in the 2020 fatal shooting of 19-year-old Mubarak Soulemane, who was in the driver's seat of a car in West Haven, where a high-speed chase ended and police boxed in the car.
North fatally shot Mubarak Soulemane, 19, in January 2020 as Soulemane sat in the driver's seat of a car in West Haven, where the chase ended and police boxed in the car.
North did not return an email seeking comment, and a message was left at a phone listing for him. A message also was sent to his lawyer, Jeffrey Ment. North is scheduled to be arraigned in Milford Superior Court on May 3. The report also includes a lengthy statement by North on the shooting. He said Soulemane was "holding the knife in an aggressive manner" and appeared to be preparing to attack other officers who were outside the car.
The union said North "was forced to make a split-second decision during these dangerous and rapidly evolving circumstances. Trooper North was risking his own life while trying to fulfill his oath of office to protect the lives of others." As the driver tried to get an officer's attention, Soulemane got into the driver's seat of the car and led police on a chase of nearly 30 miles from Norwalk to West Haven that reached speeds of 100 mph on Interstate 95, the report said.
State police body camera videos show a West Haven officer smashing out the passenger door window of the stolen car before another trooper shoots Soulemane with a stun gun, which didn't work.
