A state trooper who fatally shot a New Haven man gets to decide whether his personnel file will be released to the public.
Trooper Brian North shot and killed Mubarak Soulemane after a chase in West Haven last month. He’s been assigned to desk duty since then.
A paralegal with the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection told the New Haven Register that troopers have to consent to the release of their information under a new collective bargaining agreement.
