Los Angeles County prosecutors unsealed an indictment Friday against a former LAPD officer responsible for the 2015 on-duty shooting ofan unarmed man in Venice.
The former officer, Clifford Proctor, pleaded not guilty to the charges during a brief hearing in a downtown courtroom.
Wearing an orange jumpsuit, Proctor, 60, leaned over several times to whisper to his attorney but otherwise said little during the hearing, a portion of which was held behind closed doors. He waived a reading of the indictment. He will remain in custody with no bail, and is expected to return to court for a hearing early next month.
The unsealing of the indictment is the latest step in a decade-long fight over whether Proctor should be charged with a crime for shooting Brendon Glenn in the back twice in Venice in 2015. Glenn, 29, wasunarmed and involved in a dispute with a bar bouncer near the Venice Speedway when Proctor killed him.
Glenn’s killing sparked protests and outrage, and even some of Proctor’s own colleagues questioned his decision to open fire. Former LAPD Chief Charlie Beck called for Proctor to be charged with manslaughter, a recommendation then-Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey ignored when she declined to prosecute him in 2018.
Glenn’s family sued over the killing and received a $4-million settlement from the city in 2016.
