☆ Alabama Police Chief Says Department Policies Violated in Fatal Shooting of Black Man Outside Home
  + stars: | 2023-11-19 | by ( Associated Press | Nov. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +3 min
An Alabama police chief said he believes department policies were violated when officers shot and killed a man during a dispute with a tow truck driver, but did not elaborate on what those policies were. Decatur Police Chief Todd Pinion wrote in a statement Friday that the department has completed an internal investigation into the Sept. 29 shooting of Steve Perkins. The fatal shooting of the Black man in front of his own home has drawn regular protests in the north Alabama city. Perkins, 39, was killed by a police officer as officers accompanied a tow truck driver trying to repossess Perkins’ truck. Police said that the man, identified as Perkins, later threatened the driver and “turned the gun toward one of the officers.” Perkins' family has disputed the police version of events.

Steve Perkins, 39, was killed by police Sept. 29 in Decatur in a confrontation that began with a tow truck driver trying to repossess Perkins’ truck. The driver reported that Perkins flashed a gun, so officers accompanied the driver when he went back to the home, police said. The Decatur Police Department said Perkins “turned the gun toward one of the officers,” and they shot him. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Perkins had a handgun with a light on it. In a statement, Perkins' family said his truck was not in repossession, which is why he was disputing the tow.
