Police Officers Indicted for Slaying Bijan Ghaisar Despite Trump's Justice Department

Kodoom.com News Blog, Iranians in Diaspora
Despite a refusal by the Trump Administration's Justice Department to file federal criminal civil rights charges, U.S. Park Police Officers Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard (shown below) have been indicted by a local grand jury and surrendered at the Fairfax County jail early Monday on warrants charging them with involuntary manslaughter and reckless use of a firearm in the 2017 slaying of unarmed Iranian American motorist Bijan Ghaisar.

After the FBI investigated for two years, the Justice Department decided not to file federal criminal civil rights charges against Amaya and Vinyard. Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve T. Descano picked up the case in January and asked the Fairfax court to impanel a special grand jury in August, and the grand jury met three times before issuing indictments against both officers last week.

The following AJ+ video highlights the story:

Nearly two years after Iranian American accountant Bijan C. Ghaisar, 25, of McLean, Virginia was shot in the head by U.S. Park Police, Federal authorities continue to decline to discuss why officers shot Ghaisar after a fender-bender in Northern Virginia.

According to Washington Post, however, a report released by Fairfax County police, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from The Washington Post, says Ghaisar "did not" have a weapon on him. Park Police officers had to smash open Ghaisar's driver's side window to free him from his vehicle after they shot him.
