White officer charged in fatal shooting of black man in Nashville
A white police officer in Nashville has been charged with homicide after fatally shooting a black man who was running away from him, officials said.
In video of the July 26 shooting, Officer Andrew Delke can be seen chasing the man, Daniel Hambrick, and firing several rounds at him from behind. Hambrick, 25, was holding a gun at the time of the shooting and was told to drop it, according to an affidavit that was signed Thursday.
The affidavit, filed by an investigator with the district attorney’s office, said Delke, 25, had unsuccessfully tried to stop a white Chevrolet Impala earlier in the day, and later pulled into a parking lot near another white vehicle, which he mistook for the Impala.
