Police officers in Lafayette, Louisiana have shot and killed a black man who resisted arrest and tried to walk into a gas station store. Lafayette Police Department officers responded to a disturbance call, involving a man with a knife at a Shell gas station around 8pm Friday. When they tried to apprehend the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Trayford Pellerin, he allegedly ignored repeated orders to surrender as well as several taser shots fired at him. The incident was captured by a bystander in a video that showed a man walking away from a group of cops towards the entrance to a convenience store. The officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave as the Louisiana State Police conducts an investigation, in coordination with local community leaders, while interim Police Chief Scott Morgan promised to “do whatever we can as far as transparency goes.”
