The family of Joshua Brown, who was expected to be a witness in a civil case against the city of Dallas, has called for an independent investigation into his killing.
The family of a slain Dallas man who was expected to be a witness in a civil case against the city has called for an independent investigation into his killing.
Lee Merritt, an attorney who represented Jean’s family and is now representing Brown’s, called for an independent investigation by the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office or the U.S. Department of Justice. “The circumstances surrounding the murder of Mr. Brown cries out for answers. Most importantly, it demands an independent investigation of how and why he was killed,” said Sherrilyn Ifill, the legal defense fund’s president and director-counsel. “We urge state or federal authorities to follow the trail of misconduct left by this case and fully investigate the circumstances surrounding Mr. Brown’s death.
According to the police, Brown died in a drug deal gone bad. The department said there was an altercation outside Brown’s apartment complex involving three Louisiana men that ended with Brown shooting one of the men and being killed himself before the men fled, taking Brown’s bag and gun. The wounded suspect was brought to a hospital, and survived.
