Three Tacoma police officers charged in killing of Manuel Ellis

Decision came more than a year after Pierce county medical examiner's office ruled Black father of two's death a homicide

The Washington state attorney general's office has filed felony charges against three police officers in the killing of Manuel Ellis, a 33-year-old Black father of two, who, moments before his death, called out: I can't breathe."

This is the first time the office has filed criminal charges against police officers for unlawful use of deadly force.
