Eric Ruch Jr., a former Philadelphia police officer, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter on Wednesday. He could face up to 25 years in prison.
He had claimed he was in fear for his life, but Mr Plowden was unarmed.
The jury found him not guilty of third-degree murder, a more serious charge. But jurors found that Mr. Ruch, who is white, had acted recklessly when he fired directly at Dennis Plowden Jr.’s head following the crash on Dec. 27, 2017. He could face up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced on Nov. 17.
Mr. Ruch bowed his head and cried when the verdict was announced
