Michael Davis re-sentenced for armed robbery connected to slain NOPD Officer Christopher Russell Family of slain NOPD officer reacts to release of the convicted suspects By Natasha Robin | April 5, 2021 at 5:25 PM CDT - Updated April 5 at 5:25 PM NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The family of slain NOPD Officer Christopher Russell is very upset. The victim’s mother told FOX 8, she received a call from Angola, not the DA’s office to notify her that a man previously convicted of an armed robbery that ended with his accomplice killing the officer was going to be released from prison. “What has infuriated the victims is that the victims of this case were not consulted. The mother of the slain officer, the widow of the slain officer were not consulted,” says Rafael Goyeneche.
