Family of Connecticut man fatally shot by state police demands trooper's prosecution


(CNN) The family of a Connecticut man fatally shot by a state trooper is calling for the officer to be fired and criminally prosecuted. Mubarak Soulemane, 19, was shot and killed January 15 after a reported carjacking and high-speed chase that ended near Interstate 95 in West Haven, according to the Connecticut State Police. He struck two cruisers and a civilian vehicle before he was boxed in by troopers shortly after exiting the interstate, according to police. Police camera footage shows a trooper breaking the passenger side window while other officers shout at the driver to exit the car. An attempt to use a stun gun on Soulemane proved "ineffective," police said in a statement.
