David Meier Appointed to Investigate Trooper's Death

Attorney General Andrea Campbell has appointed attorney David Meier to lead an independent investigation into the death of Massachusetts State Police Trooper Enrique Delgado-Garcia, who died during a training exercise on September 13. Meier, a seasoned lawyer with extensive experience in homicide cases and previous oversight of the Hinton State Drug Laboratory investigation, is expected to conduct a thorough and transparent inquiry. The investigation follows a recusal from Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early due to a conflict of interest, as Delgado-Garcia had previously worked in his office. Meier will operate independently of the Massachusetts State Police to maintain objectivity in the investigation. In his statement, Meier emphasized his commitment to professionalism and thoroughness in uncovering the circumstances surrounding Delgado-Garcia's death. The community and Delgado-Garcia's family await the findings as the investigation begins.
