Ex-LAPD officer indicted again on murder charge in 2015 killing of homeless man

Los Angeles Times

A special prosecutor said former LAPD officer Clifford Proctor was indicted on one count of second-degree murder for shooting Brendon Glenn, an unarmed homeless man, in the back outside a Venice bar in May 2015. Proctor was arraigned Monday and pleaded not guilty. A prior indictment returned in 2024 was dismissed in June by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge who said Proctor had a reasonable belief Glenn was a threat.

Judge Ronald S. Coen dismissed the previous murder indictment on June 5, 2026, and prosecutors appealed that ruling.
