Donald Harp was a 22-year-old African American man who died in Miami, Florida, on March 4, 1983. The fatal shooting occurred after Harp was involved in a car crash and officers tried to pull him from the vehicle. Officer Robert Koenig, described as a white rookie, shot Harp; Koenig said he believed Harp was reaching for a weapon, but the medical examiner reported Harp was nearly unconscious when shot and Harp was unarmed.

Koenig was later charged with manslaughter, convicted by a jury, and sentenced to five years in prison. The case drew attention to racial tensions and concerns about police brutality in Miami and stood out at the time as a rare successful prosecution of an on-duty police shooting.

Does anyone have additional details about the incident or the trial that could shed light on what happened that night?
