On this episode, we are joined by Ronald Haley, Esq. attorney for the family of Trayford Pellerin, a 31-year-old Black man killed in a hail of 17 bullets by Lafayette Parrish (Louisiana) police officers as he was walking away from them. Pellerin was killed two days before the world learned of another 29-year-old Black man, Jacob Blake, who was shot in the back seven times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, leaving him paralyzed. While Blake’s case went viral, Pellerin’s case remains noticeably out of the headlines. Mr. Haley updates us on the details of the Pellerin case and the steps he and local activists are taking to bring justice to those responsible for his death.
The host for this episode is Clint Odom, Lafayette native and NUL Senior Vice President of Policy & Advocacy.
