The three Tacoma Police Department officers charged in the death of Manuel Ellis are out of jail after posting bail Friday.
Officers Christopher Burbank, Matthew Collins and Timothy Rankine all face a first-degree manslaughter charge, while Burbank and Collins also are charged with second-degree murder after Ellis died when they tried to arrest him more than a year ago. Ellis, a Black man, died when police in Tacoma attempted to arrest him on March 3, 2020, for allegedly "trying to open car doors of occupied vehicles." Ellis had to be restrained after a physical altercation with officers, according to police.More Related News
