4 Massachusetts State Police Troopers Charged in Recruit Enrique Delgado-Garcia's Death
Four trainers face involuntary manslaughter charges after an independent investigation found reckless conduct in an unauthorized boxing session that led to recruit Enrique Delgado-Garcia's death.
- On Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, attorney Campbell and investigator Meier announced charges against a supervisor and three instructors for Delgado-Garcia's death.
- After the recusal, an independent team led a about a year investigation, with Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell appointing an investigator to avoid conflicts.

- The department said the four indicted staff will be summoned for arraignment in the near future, and Sgt. Jennifer Penton faces an additional perjury charge, while the Massachusetts State Police announced reforms.
- The investigation cost $416,924.80, the grand jury heard over 150 witnesses and reviewed nearly 350 exhibits, prompting calls for reforms, Campbell said.
