(CNN)Approaching three years since the death of Ronald Greene, which one Louisiana State Police member described as "torture and murder," there have been no arrests or indictments of any of the officers involved. Meanwhile, the former head of the LSP on Thursday failed to appear at an appeal hearing related to the case.
Former Louisiana State Police Col. Kevin Reeves, who retired amidst controversy surrounding his handling of Greene's brutal arrest by state troopers, failed to appear in front of the state police commission on Thursday. The commission is handling the case of a state police whistleblower attempting to overturn his termination after he spoke out about Greene's death in May 2019 and leaked documents related to Greene's death.
The Greene family characterized Reeves' no-show to CNN as yet another example of current and former leadership at the LSP avoiding accountability in the case.
Greene, a 49-year-old Black man, died during the overnight hours of May 10, 2019, after police said he resisted arrest and struggled with officers. His family has said they were told Greene died in a car crash after a police chase.
Video of the incident released two years later showed officers kicking, punching and using a Taser on Greene before he died in their custody.
For weeks the Greene family and some lawmakers have accused the LSP of being less than cooperative during a special legislative committee formed to investigate Greene's death.
