"Two former and three current New Orleans police officers have been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with the death of a man found shot in a burned-out car in Algiers after Hurricane Katrina.Former officer David Warren, former Lt. Robert Italiano, Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann, Lt. Travis McCabe and officer Gregory McRae are charged with crimes in connection with the Sept. 2, 2005, shooting and killing of Henry Glover, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. They're also charged in connection with the burning of his dead body in a car, the assault of civilians who tried to help Glover and other offenses in covering up the incident.\nPDF: Grand Jury Indictments\n\nIt's a case the WDSU I-Team began reporting on last year, when reporter Travers Mackel obtained exclusive video shot by two Pennsylvania police officers, showing the charred body of Glover.Glover had been shot in the chest a few days after Hurricane Katrina, according to witness Will Tanner. Tanner loaded Glover, who was alive but badly injured, into his car and drove to an elementary school, where he knew New Orleans police officers were stationed.Tanner said he was greeted with guns and was handcuffed to a table. He said the last time he saw Glover and his car, a New Orleans police officer was behind the wheel, driving toward the Mississippi River levee.Five days later, police officers from Pennsylvania found Tanner's car burned, with the skeletal remains of Glover inside.Warren was arrested by federal agents on Friday. He is charged with shooting and killing Glover.Scheuermann and McRae are charged with assaulting Tanner, burning Glover's body and obstructing the federal investigation, according to a news release.Italiano and McCabe are charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly submitting false reports of the incidents and submitting false statements to the FBI.\"In the wake of a disaster like Hurricane Katrina, law enforcement have a responsibility to do everything in their power to protect public safety and to protect the residents of their city,\" said Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez. \"Any officers who abuse their power and violate the law will be brought to justice.\"Since leaving the NOPD, Italiano has served as chief investigator for the criminal division of the Louisiana Attorney General's Office. When contacted by WDSU Friday, a spokeswoman for the office responded with the following statement: He has been removed from duty effective immediately.The case is one of several ongoing federal investigations into the NOPD and welcomed by new Superintendent Ronal Serpas.\"Because of the ongoing investigation into several incidents following Hurricane Katrina by federal authorities, I am unable to comment on any specific incident,\" Serpas said in a statement. \"I welcome the investigation by the federal agencies and will cooperate fully in their investigation.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
