A white former detective in Missouri who shot and killed a Black man in 2019 has lost an appeal of his conviction
despite unusual support from the state’s Republican attorney general, with judges on Tuesday ordering the ex-officer placed under arrest. Eric J. DeValkenaere was found guilty in 2021 of second-degree manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of 26-year-old Cameron Lamb. Lamb was parking a pickup truck in his Kansas City back yard when the officer shot him, after reports Lamb was in a car chase with his girlfriend.
In an unusual legal move, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey in June asked the appeals court to reverse DeValkenaere’s conviction or order a new trial for him. In Missouri, the attorney general's office handles criminal appeals and typically defends convictions, rather than appealing them. A spokesperson on Tuesday said the attorney general's office is reviewing the appeals court decision.
