Louisiana State Police

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that it is opening a civil rights investigation into whether the Louisiana State Police engage in racially discriminatory patterns and practices.

Union Parish District Attorney John Belton said Thursday that he believes state and federal crimes, including federal civil rights violations, were committed in Louisiana State Troopers' fatal beating and arrest of Ronald Greene in 2019.

After three days of silence, Gov. John Bel Edwards has called a Tuesday afternoon press conference to address growing concerns about his handling of the death of Ronald Greene after an Associated Press report revealed that Edwards received a text message about the violent circumstances of the incident just hours after it occurred in 2019.

Louisiana state lawmakers and family members of individuals who died in Louisiana State Police custody expressed growing frustration with the agency’s public overtures about increasing transparency and accountability for bad actors within their ranks.

In the shooting death of veteran Master Trooper Adam Gaubert early Saturday morning, officials said during an emotional Monday press conference that he was ambushed while he was writing reports in his vehicle, and they blamed current protocols in place for not protecting the officer.

One day after the Associated Press published a report revealing a pattern of brutality and secrecy among the Louisiana State Police's troopers, the agency’s newly appointed superintendent outlined reforms implemented over several months during a press conference Friday.

Here’s a complete timeline of what we know about Greene’s fatal arrest, how the state police and other authorities have handled the case and the ongoing demands for justice.
