It has been nearly two months since 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot to death in his grandparents’ backyard by Sacramento, Calif., police officers on March 18, and Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert has yet to make a decision as to whether or not she will press charges against the two officers who killed him.
Terrence Mercadal and Jared Robinet, each of whom fired 10 shots at Clark, returned to work April 9 when their paid administrative leaves ended. A department spokesman said that they were placed on modified duty and not on patrol for “safety reasons.”
Although the names of the officers were made public by Oakland, Calif., civil rights attorney John L. Burris, the Sacramento Police Department has not confirmed their identities—once again, out of concern for their safety.
