According to the Associated Press the FBI ordered a new look at the autopsy and other evidence, including body camera video from Louisiana State Police troopers regarding the arrest that led to the death of Ronald Greene in May 2019.
The AP reports the re-examination by the FBI is part of a federal civil rights investigation into the deadly arrest of Greene.
The interest from the FBI comes nearly two months after the Louisiana State Police released body camera video from the Troopers involved in the arrest. Federal prosecutors also met with Greene’s family last month and told them they hope to present their case to a grand jury by the end of the summer.
Video from the troopers’ body cameras show them stunning, punching, and dragging Greene after a high-speed chase.
Louisiana State Police initially blamed Greene’s death on a crash following the high-speed chase.
