BATON ROUGE, La. Paul also suspended officer Howie Lake II, the other officer involved in the deadly confrontation, for three days. In June 2017, Baton Rouge Mayor Sharon Weston Broome called on Paul’s predecessor, Carl Dabadie Jr., to fire Salamoni. Salamoni, 30, had served as a Baton Rouge police officer for four years before the shooting; Lake was a three-year veteran of the force. Lake’s attorney, Kyle Kershaw, said his client wants to return to his patrol job in Baton Rouge after his brief suspension.
