Andrew Delke, a former Nashville police officer convicted of manslaughter after fatally shooting Daniel Hambrick in 2018, was released from jail today, the Tennessean reports. Delke, who is white, fatally shot Hambrick, who is Black, in the back three times as he ran away during a traffic stop. Delke was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting. Under a plea agreement, he was sentenced to three years in prison in July 2021. The agreement allowed him to serve his time in a facility run by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and allowed him to be released in less time with standard jail credits. His release date was previously set for Dec. 3. Delke’s attorney, David Raybin, said his client was released today due to earning jail credits.
