RALEIGH, N.C. — Almost a week after the release of body camera footage showing a Raleigh police officer fatally shooting her husband, Rosa Jerez renewed her calls for justice in his death.
Activists and supporters joined Jerez Thursday in downtown Raleigh for a march and rally to protest the shooting of her husband, Daniel Turcios.
On Jan. 11, the 43-year-old immigrant from El Salvador died following a police shooting at the scene of a crash on Interstate 440. After the accident, Turcios carried a knife and did not drop it, despite numerous orders from police officers, according to police reports and videos. Over the span of a few minutes, one officer tased him, and a second officer shot him five times after police said he waved the knife at them.
