Demonstrators in Lancaster are demanding greater transparency in investigations of the deaths of Robert Fuller and Michael Thomas.
Dozens of community leaders, activists and residents gathered in Lancaster Thursday, calling for justice in the deaths of Robert Fuller and another man who was fatally shot by sheriff’s deputies during an encounter last week.
Michael Thomas was fatally shot by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy who arrived at his home in Lancaster a week ago in response to a report of domestic violence. His family has questioned whether the killing was justified. On Wednesday, Terron Boone, 31, Fuller’s half brother, was killed by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies investigating allegations that he assaulted and threatened a former girlfriend.
“We’re all gathered here on one accord to remind the world, to remind our community, to remind the power structure that Black lives matter,” said Rev. V. Jesse Smith, a pastor and also a planning commissioner in Palmdale."... Today we come together to really just provide demands to our city.
