"Proctor fired two fatal shots into the back of Brendon Glenn, 29, after a dispute with a bouncer outside a bar near the Venice Speedway in May 2015. Glenn was unarmed at the time and the shooting sparked outrage and protests. Former Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck publicly called for Proctor to be charged in the shooting, but ex-Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey declined bring a case in 2018."
"Sources previously told The Times that a warrant for Proctor's arrest was issued last year, after then-Dist. Atty. George Gascón had the case reviewed by a special prosecutor, Lawrence Middleton, whom he hired to re-examine prosecutions of police in on-duty shootings. Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman fired Middleton earlier this year. The district attorney's office declined to comment. Calls to Gascón, Middleton and Michael Gennaco, the special prosecutor Hochman placed over the case earlier this year, were not immediately returned."
Clifford Proctor, 60, a former LAPD officer, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on a felony murder warrant after flying back from abroad. Proctor shot Brendon Glenn, 29, twice in the back after a dispute with a bouncer near the Venice Speedway in May 2015; Glenn was unarmed and the killing prompted protests. A warrant was issued last year following a review ordered by then-District Attorney George Gascón and conducted by special prosecutor Lawrence Middleton. Middleton was later fired by District Attorney Nathan Hochman. Former District Attorney Jackie Lacey declined to bring charges in 2018. Court records did not show a criminal complaint.
