INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The Latest on the fatal shooting of an unarmed black driver by Indianapolis police officers (all times local):

4:45 p.m.

A lawyer says the family of an unarmed black driver who was fatally shot by Indianapolis police officers hopes the appointment of a special prosecutor will lead to a decision soon on whether those officers will face charges.

A Marion County judge on Tuesday appointed the prosecutor for northern Indiana’s St. Joseph County, which includes South Bend, to oversee the investigation into the June 29 shooting of 45-year-old Aaron Bailey.

Attorney Craig Karpe (carp) says the Bailey family is frustrated by how long the investigation is taking and believes that anyone other than a police officer would have been charged already.
