Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo has written an apology letter to Nadia Stewart, the attorney for detective Charles Kleinert who shot and killed Larry Eugene Jackson, Jr. during a police chase in early August, according to KXAN News. Police Chief Acevedo told Stewart that her husband would be contacted by Austin Police Department's Internal Affairs Division in regard to an apparent leak of information surrounding the case of the shooting death of unarmed Larry Eugene Jackson, Jr, a 32 year old Austinite.
Reports show that Chief Acevedo was ordered to write a formal apology to Nadia Stewart after being confronted with the information by City Attorney Karen Kennard. However, none of the members of the Austin City Council have yet to use their powers of investigation vested in them through the Austin City Charter to review the APD shooting of Larry Eugene Jackson or the conduct of Police Chief Art Acevedo. Earlier this month, the Texas Civil Rights project requested the federal government investigate the Austin Police Department's use of lethal force that has resulted in the deaths of nearly a half dozen citizens in recent years.
