Manslaughter charges have been dropped against five Oklahoma City police officers who fatally shot a 15-year-old armed robbery suspect in 2020
The five officers were charged in the death of Stavian Rodriguez after the teen dropped a firearm to the ground, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by the previous Oklahoma County district attorney. District Attorney Vicki Behenna said Friday the charges were dismissed with prejudice – meaning they can’t be refiled – along with criminal charges filed against two additional officers in separate fatal shootings in 2020.
Rodriguez’s shooting was the highest profile of the three prosecutions affected by Behenna’s decision. Officers Bethany Sears, Jared Barton, Corey Adams, John Skuta and Brad Pemberton were all charged with first-degree manslaughter in March 2021. A sixth officer, who fired a less-lethal round, was not charged, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
