Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden makes history by charging a Boston police officer with manslaughter for an on-duty killing, marking the first such case in thirty years. The officer, Nicholas OMalley, shot at a moving car driven by Stephenson King, who was suspected of carjacking. Investigators found no threat to anyone and ruled the officer broke department rules. Haydens decision has sparked controversy, with police unions furious and calling for a challenger. Former DA Rachael Rollins name has been mentioned as a potential opponent, but Hayden is currently the only one who has pulled papers to run. Mayor Michelle Wu is showing strong support for Hayden amid dropping violent crime stats. The cases outcome could either secure Haydens spot or open the door for a new candidate as Bostons election season heats up.
