A former Los Angeles Police Department officer who fatally shot an unarmed homeless man in Venice in 2015 was behind bars Friday following his arrest at Los Angeles International Airport.
Clifford Proctor, now 60, was arrested at the airport Thursday, according to police and jail records. He was being held in lieu of $2 million bail.
“The Los Angeles Police Department is aware of the arrest of a former LAPD officer at Los Angeles International Airport on a felony murder warrant,” the LAPD said in a statement on social media Friday morning. “We will continue to support the justice system as this case proceeds and will work collaboratively with our law enforcement partners throughout the process.”
