   Sgt. Enis Jevric fatally shot a man who had been unconscious at   
   the wheel of a running car after he woke up and tried to drive   
   away.   
      
   A Washington, D.C., police sergeant who fatally shot a man found   
   unconscious at the wheel of a car has been charged with murder,   
   according to a federal indictment unsealed on Tuesday.   
      
   Sgt. Enis Jevric faces three charges for the August 2021   
   shooting, including second-degree murder, use of a firearm to   
   commit murder and a civil rights violation, the indictment read.   
   The charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.   
      
   Sgt. Jevric was among the officers dispatched to a Washington,   
   D.C., intersection in the early morning of Aug. 25, 2021,   
   according to the city’s Metropolitan Police Department.   
      
   Police body camera footage of the incident shows a group of   
   armed officers, including one holding a shield, approaching a   
   stationary car near a crosswalk. Inside, they see an   
   unresponsive man, later identified as An’Twan Gilmore, 27, at   
   the wheel. Officers noted a handgun in Mr. Gilmore’s waistband,   
   according to the department.   
      
   After a tense few minutes, an officer bangs on a driver’s-side   
   window, and Mr. Gilmore begins to slowly drive away, the footage   
   shows. “Don’t move!” several officers say, and the car stops.   
      
   A moment later, as Mr. Gilmore begins to accelerate toward the   
   intersection, shots ring out.   
      
   Mr. Gilmore was later removed from the vehicle and taken to a   
   hospital, where he was pronounced dead after life-saving efforts   
   failed, according to the M.P.D. Lawyers for Sgt. Jevric and Mr.   
   Gilmore could not be reached for comment on Tuesday night.   
      
   The M.P.D. said in a statement that it had “supported the   
   independent and thorough review process” of the incident by the   
   U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.   
      
   “We are confident that the subsequent criminal proceedings will   
   be deliberated fairly, and do recognize this is a difficult   
   matter for everyone involved,” the statement said.   
      
   At the scene of the incident, the department has said, officers   
   found Mr. Gilmore with his foot on the brake pedal of a running   
   vehicle with the handgun visible in his waistband, and that   
   police officers “attempted to engage” him before Sgt. Jevric   
   shot him.   
      
   But the grand jury indictment unsealed on Tuesday said that by   
   discharging his semiautomatic handgun, Sgt. Jevric had “acted   
   with conscious disregard of an extreme risk of death and serious   
   bodily injury” to the defendant.   
      
   One of the three charges Sgt. Jevric faces is “deprivation of   
   rights under color of law.” It applies to cases where people are   
   deprived of “any rights, privileges or immunities secured or   
   protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”   
      
   The same charge was also filed in the case against four   
   Minneapolis police officers who were involved in the killing of   
   George Floyd in May 2020, and later sentenced to prison.   
      
   In a statement on Tuesday, Matthew M. Graves, the United States   
   attorney for the District of Columbia, said that criminal   
   charges are not appropriate in the overwhelming majority of   
   cases where officers use deadly force. “But when an officer   
   willfully disregards the safety of a citizen he is sworn to   
   protect, he violates the trust placed in him by virtue of his   
   badge,” he added.   
      
   Sgt. Jevric is on administrative leave with pay, the M.P.D. said.
