The day after Metro Police Officer Andrew Delke was charged with criminal homicide, questions linger about the investigation and evidence in Delke’s case.

The arrest affidavit states that Officer Delke was assigned to the newly formed Juvenile Crimes Task Force back on July 26 and that one of the directives for those who work on the task force is to make traffic stops.

The document says that Officer Delke saw a Chevy Impala that day and he “then ran the license plate and learned that the Impala was not a stolen vehicle.”

Nevertheless, because Officer Delke understood that part of the Task Force directive was to make traffic stops, he continued to follow to see if he could develop a reason to stop the Impala.

Metro Police would not comment on the affidavit directly but said the Juvenile Crimes Task Force is directed to make traffic stops.

Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron told News 2 the task force is responsible for recovering stolen and carjacked vehicles and is tasked with combating juvenile crime.

He said there is no quota for vehicle stops and no pressure on officers to stop vehicles.

The community activist group, Gideon’s Army, released a report last year called “Driving While Black.”

The report looked at Metro police information over a four-year period and showed that black Davidson County residents are more than twice as likely to be stopped while driving than white residents.

The group’s spokesperson said that the affidavit is troubling.

“We need to make sure that members of the community are aware of how these stops and practices are occurring,” said Timothy Hughes. “We also need to have an understanding on how we can prevent interactions with police that create violent outcomes and individuals being shot when there is no indication they’re involved with any criminal activity.”

Metro Police said Officer Delke was interviewed as part of their internal investigation. That investigation remains open but paused.
