Officer Jeff Nelson became the first officer in Washington state convicted by a jury for murder for on-duty actions under the state's police accountability law.

Nelson was trying to arrest 26-year-old Jesse Sarey, who was unarmed, outside of a market for disorderly conduct in 2019. Prosecutors said he shot him in the abdomen and then fired a second shot a few seconds later in his forehead.
