D.C. officer charged with murder in connection with fatal shooting of man who was found asleep in his car

A Washington, D.C., police sergeant has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the fatal August 2021 shooting of a man who had been found asleep in his car.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves unsealed a federal indictment Tuesday charging Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Enis Jevric, 41, with murder and also a federal civil rights violation in the death of An'Twan Gilmore, 27.

"When an officer willfully disregards the safety of a citizen he is sworn to protect, he violates the trust placed in him by virtue of his badge," Graves said in a statement.
