## Resource

Former Hartford police officer, Joseph Magnano, charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of Steven Jones. Magnano arrived late to the scene, where Jones was experiencing a mental health crisis and holding a knife. Despite de-escalation attempts and use of a Taser, Magnano fired nine shots, killing Jones. The police union backed Magnano, citing self-defense, but the Mayor fired him for poor performance and safety violations. The family of Jones, represented by Ben Crump, is suing the police department and the city. Magnano was released on bond and is due in court in June.
