The family of Dijon Kizzee is calling for murder charges in the police shooting death of Dijon Kizzee, who was shot at least 15 times while “writhing in the ground in pain,” according to an independent autopsy.
The Los Angeles Times reported: “At a news conference Tuesday, attorney Carl Douglas said deputies fired some of the shots when Kizzee was already on the ground, and that the gunfire didn’t immediately kill him. He said those findings came from an independent autopsy commissioned by the family and displayed a body diagram showing the entry point of each wound.
“What this shows is he was alive and breathing and writhing in pain when the officers continued to stay away,” Douglas said, suggesting that deputies did not render aid during those critical moments as Kizzee bled to death on Aug. 31.”
Civil Rights Attorney Carl Douglas spoke with Roland Martin about the murder of Kizzee and the events that lead up to police firing at least 19 rounds at him.
