A police officer who faces murder charges in the shooting death of a Black man in East Texas has been fired, authorities said.



Wolfe City police officer Shaun Lucas was arrested Monday after he shot and killed 31-year-old Jonathan Price over the weekend at a gas station. Following an administrative investigation conducted by the city, Lucas was fired Thursday "for his egregious violation of the City's and police department's policies," Wolfe City officials said in a statement.

The mayor and city council also said they joined the community in mourning.

"Wolfe City is a tight-knit community, and we join you in mourning Jonathan's death and the events of last week," the statement said.

2. Every single police shooting should have an independent investigation.

No police officer should have blanket immunity.
