Louisiana state trooper Chris Hollingworth was laid to rest at a ceremony authorities had tried to keep secret amid fears of a protest following the in-custody death case of Ronald Greene.

Speaking to the news agency earlier this month, Greene's mother, Mona Hardin, said her family has not been able to grieve because so many questions remain unresolved. She said her son had been a well-liked barber who lived in West Monroe and had a"giving spirit."

Hollingsworth, who was white, was the only one of six troopers placed on leave earlier this month after the May 2019 death of Greene following a high-speed chase.Troopers later stated that there was a struggle with him during the arrest. Family members of Ronald Greene listen to speakers as they gather at the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington August 28 in Washington, D.C.Hollingsworth died on Tuesday after being involved in a single-car highway crash in Monroe just hours after he received a letter informing him the was to be fired.

The news agency reported that despite mounting pressure, police have refused to release body-camera footage from Greene's arrest stating that the film cannot be handed over due to ongoing state and federal investigations.
