Trooper arrested for 2020 fatal shooting of Black driver of car boxed in by cruisers after high-speed chase. He fired seven shots.

Hartford, Conn. — A Connecticut state trooper who fired seven gunshots into a car and killed a man in 2020 after a high-speed chase was arrested Tuesday night in connection with the shooting, state police said.

Trooper Brian North turned himself in to the state inspector general at the state police barracks in Bethany at about 7:30 p.m., state police said in a statement. The charges weren't immediately announced. Officials said North was placed on paid administrative leave and his police powers were suspended.

North fatally shot Mubarak Soulemane in January 2020 as Soulemane sat in the driver's seat of a car in West Haven, where the chase ended and police boxed in the car.
