Some Legislators Want End to Woodard Investigation

The Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus wants state police to finish their investigation into the death of Marchello Woodard.
He was shot multiple times by a state parole agent in Erie in early July. He died after the shooting.
His death was ruled a homicide.
“It has been 51 days since the Pennsylvania State Police and the Erie County District Attorney’s Office started investigating this incident, and no charges have been filed,” Rep. Napoleon Nelson, D-Montgomery, chair of the PLBC, said. “No family should have to endure the pain that Marchello’s has – dealing with the loss of a loved one without any answers, action, or meaningful reform. Our caucus demands full accountability for the events that led to this devastating loss of life.”
The incident drew a lot of attention, including from a national figure.
The PLBC is asking for more urgency and transparency from state officials.
