state trooper who fatally shot a Black man, Mubarak Soulemane, following a high-speed chase in 2020 was arraigned Tuesday on a manslaughter charge.
About nine relatives and supporters of Soulemane were in the courtroom, including his mother, Omo Mohammed. Following the hearing, they chanted, "Justice for Mubarak" outside the courthouse. "Regardless of who it is, when our troopers are what believe to be prosecuted for doing their job, we will defend them," said Andrew Matthews, the executive director of the Connecticut State Police Union.
Soulemane's family said that he had schizophrenia and that his mental health appeared to be deteriorating in the days before the shooting.
