Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul announced on Friday evening that Officer Blane Salamoni, who shot and killed Alton Sterling outside of a convenience store in 2016, has been fired. The other officer on the scene, Howie Lake II, was suspended just three days. In addition, a series of videos were released on Friday and obtained by The Advocate, that show the confrontation in more graphic detail.
