COLUMBIA, Mo. — Four Missouri prison guards were charged Friday with murder, and a fifth with accessory to involuntary manslaughter, in the December death of a Black man who was pepper sprayed, had his face covered with a mask and was left in a position that caused him to suffocate while in custody at a correctional facility, according to a complaint filed Friday.
Varner and Bradshaw left Moore in a position that caused his asphyxiation, the complaint said. Those charged with felony murder could face between 10 and 30 years in prison, Thompson said. Lawyers for Moore’s mother and sister filed a lawsuit Friday against the officers and the Department of Corrections.
