A Washington, D.C., police sergeant has been charged with murder for his role in a fatal shooting of a man found asleep in his vehicle in August 2021. If convicted, Sgt. Enis Jevric, 41, will serve a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia Sgt. Enis Jevric, 41, is facing three counts in the death of An'Twan Gilmore, 27, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Tuesday by U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves. Jevric is charged with second-degree murder, depriving Gilmore of his right to be free from the use of excessive force, and using a firearm to commit second-degree murder.
"When an officer willfully disregards the safety of a citizen he is sworn to protect, he violates the trust placed in him by virtue of his badge," Graves said."Today’s indictment reinforces that we will hold officers who commit civil rights violations accountable.” On Aug. 25, 2021, police received multiple reports of a man, discovered to be Gilmore, asleep or unconscious behind the wheel of a black BMW in northeastern Washington. Jevric allegedly approached the car and spotted a handgun in Gilmore's waistband, per the police department via CBS News.
Reinforcements were called to the scene, and officers approached the car with a bulletproof ballistic shield. They began tapping on the window, shouting,"Don't move!" as the car began to move and stopped quickly. It started to move again, and officers fired at least nine shots at the car.
"We are confident that the subsequent criminal proceedings will be deliberated fairly, and do recognize this is a difficult matter for everyone involved," the department said.
