Overview
- A grand jury indictment unsealed Monday charges Proctor with one count of second-degree murder and a special allegation that he personally used a firearm in the 2015 killing of Brendon Glenn.
- Prosecutors say they have new or re-presented evidence they believe shows malice and undermines Proctor’s claim that Glenn tried to grab an officer’s gun, while defense lawyers maintain the shooting was self-defense.
- A judge dismissed a prior indictment in June, criticizing prosecutors for failing to present evidence of malice and for not disclosing material favorable to the defense, and that ruling was followed by an appeal and a new grand jury review.
- Proctor was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in October 2025 after a warrant issued in 2024, he has posted bail following the new indictment, and he is due back to begin arraignment and pretrial hearings in early September.
- The case rests on conflicting video and witness accounts, a Police Commission finding the shooting unjustified, and a 2016 $4 million city settlement, and it could shape how prosecutors and courts handle officer-involved shootings and grand-jury presentations.
