Lawyers representing the family of a Black teenager shot and killed by police in an Alabama suburb said the state’s refusal to release body-camera video during an investigation is fueling mistrust over the shooting.
“All this family wants is transparency plus accountability. And that’s how we get back to trust. We’re not asking for anything else that you wouldn’t want if it was your child,” Ben Crump, a civil rights attorney, said during a Tuesday press conference with family members.
