Grand jury clears Hancock County deputy in 2022 shooting, family continues civil case
SUMMARY: A Hancock County grand jury has cleared Deputy Michael Chase Blackwell of criminal conduct related to a shooting incident in December 2022, where he shot 21-year-old Isaiah Winkley. Blackwell resigned from the sheriff’s department six months later and agreed not to work in law enforcement again. Winkley’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, claiming he posed no threat during the encounter, despite being tased and asking officers to shoot him. Blackwell’s motion for qualified immunity was denied, and he has since appealed. The case remains under scrutiny as developments unfold regarding the lawsuit.
