A Mtn. View police officer has been charged with voluntary manslaughter, stemming from a deadly shooting in 2019.
According to case.net, The Howell County, Mo. prosecutor has charged Israel Guidry with voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of Angela Perkins.
KY3 reported that according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol investigator, Guidry attempted to pull over the driver for a traffic violation on the night of Sept. 30. Guidry told investigators Perkins took off.
He then said he lost sight of her car. He later reportedly found her hiding in her car in a ditch on Howell County Road 3080 southwest of Mountain View.
Guidry repeatedly asked the driver to “shut it down.” He told investigators Perkins then spun the tires and drove the vehicle toward him. Guidry told investigators at that point he thought she was going to kill him.
He then fired shots at Perkins, hitting her through the windshield.
Investigators say Guidry was wearing a body camera. However, there was no video on it. Investigator say never turned on the camera inside the patrol car.
