ICE Officer Will Not Be Charged In Death Of Terrance Kellom, Killed During Detroit Arrest

Source: Huffington

DETROIT -- An officer who fatally shot a 20-year-old black man four times at his home will not be charged, Wayne County’s prosecutor said Wednesday.

Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced during a morning press conference that U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent Mitchell Quinn's shooting of Terrance Kellom was justified.

A fugitive apprehension task force made up of Quinn and six other officers from local and federal agencies came to serve two arrest warrants for Kellom, a suspect in the armed robbery of a pizza delivery man, on the afternoon of April 27.

From the article...


...
Quinn was an officer with the Detroit Police Department for 12 years before he began working at ICE in 2008. He was suspended that year after allegedly pointing his gun at his then-wife’s head during a fight. The charge of assault with a dangerous weapon was dismissed.
...


Clearly the evidence of his past behavior shows impeccable judgement with a loaded firearm.
