Michigan State Trooper Charged with Murder for Fatal Collision with Fleeing Suspect

Detective Sgt. Brian Keely faces charges after striking Samuel Sterling with an unmarked SUV during a police chase in Kentwood.

Keely is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for the April 17 incident.
Body camera footage shows Sterling being hit by the SUV and later dying from his injuries.
Sterling was wanted on multiple warrants and tried to flee when approached by officers.
The incident has reignited community anger over police use of force and racial disparities.
Keely's attorney argues the death was an accident and criticizes the charges as politically motivated.
