DC police officer charged with murder in deadly pursuit of moped driver
Fox News
A Washington D.C., police officer has been indicted for the murder of a man on a moped who was fatally struck by a vehicle during a 2020 chase and conspiring with another officer to hide the circumstances of the collision, federal prosecutors said.
Hylton was eventually struck by a civilian vehicle in an alley. He sustained severe head trauma and died two days later. The pursuit appeared to violate the Metropolitan Police Department's policy prohibiting chases. High-speed chases are barred over minor traffic offenses.
Another officer, Lt. Andrew Zabavsky, 53, is charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Both officers pleaded not guilty Friday.
