Henry Glover Murdered by NOPD (2005)
Fri Sep 02, 2005
Henry Glover (1974 - 2005) was a resident of Louisiana who was murdered by New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officer David Warren on this day in 2005. Officers attempted to cover up the murder by burning his corpse and car.
Glover was shot from a second story window by Warren when he was approaching a strip mall to acquire some baby clothing. His neighbor William Tanner drove the wounded Glover and his brother Edward King to nearby Habans Elementary School, which had been commandeered by police officers, where they were subsequently detained and beaten. Glover did not receive medical care and died in the back of the car.
New Orleans Police Officer Greg McRae took Tanner's car keys, got into his car, and drove away with Glover's body still inside. McRae drove the vehicle about a mile away to a Mississippi River levee, left the car running, and set it on fire.
Four other NOPD officers were charged in connection with events following Glover's death, including the burning of the body.
