Officer Charged With Murdering William Green

On Monday, Jan. 27, 2020 in Prince George County’s (Maryland) a military officer shot and killed a man. Forty-three-year-old William Green was allegedly found around 9 p.m. Monday night on Winston Street in Temple Hills. The military were responding to 911 calls about a automobile that was presumably slamming into parked vehicles.

By a time military arrive during a scene, Green was found upheld out behind a circle and suspected to be on PCP (Phencyclidine). This drug is a mind-altering drug that can and might lead to hallucinations (a surpassing exaggeration in a person’s notice of reality).

Witnesses told military that they heard/saw a onslaught mangle out in a automobile followed by “multiple bangs.”

It is misleading accurately how Green got from behind a circle to being handcuffed in a front chair of a military cruiser. It is also misleading how a handcuffed Green was fatally shot by Officer Michael Owen Jr. There is no body-cam video of a deadly incident. Investigators are now looking for notice cameras that are in a area and might have available a shooting. It is speculated that a officer and Green had struggled in a front chair of a cruiser. However, it is tough to entirely see a whole design but a physique cam.

Green was afterwards rushed to a sanatorium after cops on a stage attempted to give him medical attention. Soon after nearing during a hospital, Green died. The Prince George Police Department put Officer Owen Jr., on executive leave.

On Tuesday afternoon, Officer Owen Jr. was arrested during his home and taken into custody. He has been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.

Brenda Green done a sorrowful matter on Tuesday, “They shot my son and it’s not right. How we gonna fire somebody sitting in a front chair of a automobile in shackles and with a chair belt on? Why would we do that?”

Green’s fiancé, Sandra Mathis, has settled that this occurrence creates no sense, “We have questions that’s not being answered. We wish to get to a bottom of this. We wish to know since a desired one was brutally shot in a military car, handcuffed, chair belted in a front seat. What mistreat could this particular do to this military officer.”

A chairman regulating a Twitter user name “Liv,” claims to be Green’s cousin. In a profanity-filled tweet, they mentioned that Green did not do PCP. Later, a same chairman wrote: “I will quarrel with a final exhale in me for justice. William Green was a family man, a operative man. Funny. Loving. Love and skip you.”

ACLU of Maryland is a private, nonprofit classification that defends a polite rights and polite liberties of Marylanders by litigation, process advocacy, village engagement, and vital communications. They expelled a matter that reads: “We are job for full clarity and burden from PGPD. We are still watchful on that goodness and clarity for Leonard Shand. PGPD contingency acknowledge that this was a finish and ashamed veteran disaster on their part. There is no reason since a handcuffed chairman should ever be shot mixed times by a military officer, let alone shot mixed times inside a unit car. Anything brief of that comment would only denote a finish miss of honour for tellurian life. We contingency put a stop to systemic military savagery and a unnecessary killings of Black people. We can't means to destroy in this idea since lives are during stake. #BlackLivesMatter.”

This is only one of many officer-involved shootings. It is a wish of many that a series of officer-involved shootings will decline. The review in this matter is ongoing.
