LSP releases body-cam video of fatal shooting

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Louisiana State Police have released body-cam video of a trooper’s fatal shooting of a driver in Ascension Parish that occurred on Sept. 30.

The video shows the moments leading up to–and after– a struggle between the unidentified trooper and the driver, 34-year-old Brandon Nicholas of Sunshine.

While the trooper claimed that he saw a pistol in Nicholas’s car, there was no gun found in the car after Nicholas was fatally shot. Instead, troopers said they found a gun in a ditch along the Louisiana Highway 431, between where the chase began and ended. That would be somewhere along a mile and a half stretch of dimly-lit highway, at about 2 a.m.
