BALTIMORE (AP) — An independent city agency has found that four Baltimore police officers used excessive force in the 2015 shooting of a suspect.

Keith Davis Jr.'s attorneys, Latoya Francis-Williams and Natalie Finegar, presented the findings of the city's Civilian Review Board at a news conference Tuesday, The Baltimore Sun reports . The board recommended two officers be terminated and two others receive a 30-day suspension.

A police spokesman told The Sun that all officers involved in Davis' arrest remain employed with the department. A spokeswoman for the state's attorney's office said the board's findings on the officers' actions do not affect the criminal trial against Davis, 26.

The four officers were not named in The Sun's report.
