Kentucky trooper shot and killed man during a DUI traffic stop, police say

A man was shot and killed by a Kentucky State Police trooper during a DUI traffic stop on Monday, according to the agency. The shooting happened on Interstate 75 near the 46 mile-marker in Laurel County. State police said a trooper pulled over Tommy Velasco, 40, of Jeffersonville, and made Velasco perform field sobriety tests on the side of the road. Velasco allegedly showed signs of impairment during the tests and fled from the trooper when he tried to take him into custody. The trooper tried to stop Velasco with his taser, but state police said it had “limited effect.” A fight broke out between the trooper and Velasco, and the trooper fatally shot Velasco, according to state police. No other information about the incident was provided. State police are investigating the shooting, which is typical when law enforcement officers are involved in shootings . The agency said it’s committed to being transparent about the investigation, but will only release new information when witnesses are interviewed and facts are gathered. “Timelines to complete investigations vary based on the complexity of the case,” state police said in a news release.
