BATON ROUGE -- The Louisiana Attorney General’s office will not file charges against the two Baton Rouge Police officers who fatally shot Alton Sterling.
Attorney General Jeff Landry made the announcement Tuesday morning after meeting with Sterling’s family.
The decision comes nearly a year after federal authorities closed their investigation into the shooting, which was captured on cellphone, surveillance and body cam video, and announced they would not prosecute officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II, the officers involved.
