The former officer faces two separate criminal assault cases, and is being sued by a woman who claims he attacked her.
Colorado continued a years-long trend of higher-than-average rates of police killings in 2022, with at least 39 people killed in confrontations with law enforcement officers between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, according to data from a group that tracks police violence.
People in Colorado were killed by police at a rate of 6.75 per one million residents last year, the seventh-highest figure out of 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to a database maintained by Mapping Police Violence, a nonprofit founded by activist Samuel Sinyangwe.
Thirty-one of the 39 people killed by Colorado police were allegedly armed, the group’s data shows. Only one deadly incident, the June 11 killing of 22-year-old Christian Glass by Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputies, resulted in charges against law-enforcement officers.
