SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South Bend’s mayor has sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice seeking a review of the case involving the South Bend police shooting of Eric J. Logan. He also prayed with ministers Monday and later urged more public input over the policies that govern the police department.
Monday’s events came two weeks after South Bend police Sgt. Ryan O’Neill fatally shot Logan in a downtown parking lot. Logan, allegedly caught breaking into cars, had approached O’Neill with a knife when confronted, the officer has told investigators. O’Neill did not turn on his body camera.
