Former Summerville Officer Charged with Murder Following Fatal Shooting at Chick-fil-A

Anthony DeLustro, a former NYPD officer, faces murder charges for the shooting of Michael O'Neal during a confrontation outside a South Carolina Chick-fil-A.

Summerville Police Chief Douglas Wright addresses the community and media, emphasizing the department's commitment to transparency and impartiality in the wake of the incident.
The fatal altercation occurred on March 20, 2024, when DeLustro allegedly shot O'Neal as he tried to flee in his vehicle.
Witnesses and video evidence suggest DeLustro was the primary aggressor, leading to his arrest and charge of murder.
DeLustro claimed self-defense, but investigations indicate he was the only one armed, undermining his claim.
The Summerville Police Department has placed DeLustro on administrative leave and expressed sympathy for both families involved.
