The criminal charges were contained in a grand jury indictment that was unsealed Monday as one former officer and one current officer pleaded not guilty.
indictment released Monday, April 17, against Officer Matthew Concannon and former Officer Anthony Chavez. Both pleaded not guilty to the shooting of 23-year-old Christopher DeAndre Mitchell, who was killed while sitting in the vehicle with a modified air rifle between his legs.
Mitchell’s mother, Sherlyn Haynes, said at the news conference that she looked forward to the court process and ultimately seeing the two officers in jail.Attorneys for Concannon and Chavez said the prosecution was politically motivated and an abuse of prosecutorial power. At the news conference with Gascon, civil rights lawyer Je Yon Jung, said she helped the district attorney identify police shooting investigations that needed to be reopened. The Mitchell shooting stood out among those that had potential deficiencies in the investigation, she said.
