The Niles Police Department has released the names of the officers placed on administrative leave following an officer-involved shooting.

Officer James Reppy and Officer Christopher Mannella were placed on administrative leave after Matthew Burroughs was shot and killed by Niles Police at the Royal Mall Apartments on January 2.

Police say Burroughs fled from officers when they tried to apprehend him on a warrant, and they were in fear for their safety when they shot him. Police say he tried to run them over with his vehicle.

The shooting has caused a widespread outcry from the community with many rallying for justice and the NAACP calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to launch a full criminal and “pattern and practice” investigation.

The death has been ruled homicide and BCI is currently investigating.

Officer Mannella is a 28 year veteran of the department and a U.S. military veteran. Officer Reppy is a 6-year veteran who previously worked for the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office.
