On March 27, 2018, Landry announced that because of a lack of evidence that could be brought to a grand jury no charges will be brought against two white Baton Rouge police officers in the fatal shooting in July 2016 of the African-American Alton Sterling. Landry noted that federal authorities had declined to bring charges, and East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore had recused himself because of a personal tie to the family of one of the officers involved. The officers claim they gave Sterling an opportunity to surrender upon arrest but fired when Sterling grabbed a gun in  his possession. Rioting followed Sterling's death. Still pending is a civil suit filed on behalf of the five Sterling children against the officers and the city-parish of Baton Rouge. The suit accuses the police department of lax training and poor procedures whicn contributed to Sterling's death.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/police-face-charges-alton-sterling-shooting-case/story?id=54039904|title=Police won't face charges in Alton Sterling shooting case|publisher=[[ABC]] News|author=M.
