Ronald Greene

After three days of silence, Gov. John Bel Edwards has called a Tuesday afternoon press conference to address growing concerns about his handling of the death of Ronald Greene after an Associated Press report revealed that Edwards received a text message about the violent circumstances of the incident just hours after it occurred in 2019.

Louisiana state lawmakers and family members of individuals who died in Louisiana State Police custody expressed growing frustration with the agency’s public overtures about increasing transparency and accountability for bad actors within their ranks.

One day after the Associated Press published a report revealing a pattern of brutality and secrecy among the Louisiana State Police's troopers, the agency’s newly appointed superintendent outlined reforms implemented over several months during a press conference Friday.

Here’s a complete timeline of what we know about Greene’s fatal arrest, how the state police and other authorities have handled the case and the ongoing demands for justice.
