Chadwick Thomas LeCroy

Corporal Chadwick LeCroy was shot and killed in Atlanta after a short vehicle pursuit.

He was arrested a short distance away by members of the Atlanta Police Department and Cobb County Police Department.

On April 29, 2014, the suspect was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life without parole.
