An Auburn police officer was found guilty of unnecessarily using deadly force when he shot and killed a man outside a convenience store in 2019.The jury found Jeffrey Nelson guilty of second-degree murder and first-degree assault. Auburn Police Officer Nelson shot Jesse Sarey twice while attempting to arrest him for disorderly conduct. Sarey, 26, was the third person Nelson had killed on duty in the past eight years.
Like the first, Calfo said, the second shot was unjustified: "He could have done a million things other than shoot this man in the head."Nelson’s attorney told the jury that he will testify during the trial. He has been waiting five years to say exactly what happened on that day, Scanlan said, including feeling during the struggle that Sarey had grabbed for his gun.
