New court documents have revealed the names of two U.S. Park Police officers who shot and killed Bijan Ghaisar in November 2017.

A court filing in a federal lawsuit identifies the officers as Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard.

Park Police have declined to identify them since the incident in which Ghaisar was killed.

Ghaisar was shot after a police chase into the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County.

Police say he was a suspect in a hit-and-run crash near the George Washington Parkway in Alexandria.

A police report indicated that Ghaisar was unarmed when he was shot multiple times by the officers.


The Park Police have never explained why Ghaisar was killed.
