A police officer in Charlotte, North Carolina has been charged with a crime after he shot and killed Jonathan Ferrell. The 24-year-old had just gotten into a car accident and was reportedly looking for help. Instead of offering aid, the cop ended his life.
Look below for 11 pictures of Jonathan Ferrell, who is described by friends and family as a loving, peaceful man with a bright future. After graduating from high school in Tallahassee, Florida, he went on to play college football at Florida A&M with his brother. He played safety for FAMU.
After getting into the accident, he reportedly knocked on the door of the nearest house. The person who answered the door got scared and called the cops. When the police arrived, they saw a man who fit the description. And then one of the officers shot him.
The cop, who is white, is being charged with voluntary manslaughter — and should feel lucky it wasn’t a murder charge with a hate crime attached.

Apparently he was shot several times as well.
