Seven members of Congress sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking him to reopen the investigation into the 2017 shooting death of Bijan Ghaisar, an unarmed motorist who was slain by two U.S. Park Police officers.
The Justice Department, under then-Attorney General William P. Barr, investigated the case for two years before deciding in November 2019 that no federal civil rights charges were warranted against Park Police officers Lucas Vinyard, 40, and Alejandro Amaya, 42. In 2020, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano obtained indictments charging the officers with involuntary manslaughter and reckless use of a firearm.
Video released by Fairfax County Police in January 2018 shows U.S. Park Police chasing, and shooting at Bijan Ghaisar's vehicle in 2017.
