DOVER, Del. (AP) — Wilmington police have finished criminal and internal investigations into the fatal police shooting of a black man in a wheelchair, local officials said Tuesday, days after city attorneys asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the man's family.
Authorities said the Wilmington police department's criminal investigation into the September shooting of Jeremy McDole has concluded. The results have been submitted to the attorney general's office, which is conducting its own criminal investigation and will decide whether any of the four officers involved in the shooting will face criminal charges.
The results of the police department's criminal probe were not disclosed.
A spokeswoman for Mayor Dennis Williams said, meanwhile, that the police department's Office of Professional Standards also has finished a separate internal investigation to determine whether officers involved in the shooting complied with departmental rules and regulations governing the use of deadly force.
