Andrew Delke pleaded guilty to manslaughter in killing of Daniel Hambrick who belonged to black community

Ex Nashville police officer, Andrew Delke, belonging to the white community, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the killing of Daniel Hambrick, belonging to the black community, on Friday.

Andrew shot Daniel times in the back as he ran away after a North Nashville traffic stop on July 26, 2018. Andrew was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting. He was the first Nashville police officer to be charged with murder by an on-duty shooting.

“Delke will serve his sentence in Nashville in a facility run by the Davidson County Sherriff’s Office. Delke could be out in as soon as 18 months with standard jail credits. He entered law enforcement to make difference. He will always be proud of his service and have respect for all officers who continue to serve in that honorable but very dangerous profession.” the attorneys said in a joint statement.
