Family of handcuffed man fatally shot by Maryland police officer demands justice, calling the incident 'one of the worst' in American history.
Officer charged with murder in shooting death of handcuffed manshot seven times
William Green's son, William Jr., and daughter, also named Brenda, spoke at the news conference held at Mt. Joy Baptist Church in Oxon Hill, Maryland. "This has to go down as one of the worst incidents in American history and it has shocked the nation," said Murphy, who also represented the family of Freddie Gray, a black Baltimore man whose 2015 death while in the custody of police led to charges being filed against six officers. The officers charged in Gray's death were all acquitted.
Prince George County State's Attorney Aisha Braveboy said a grand jury would be convened to decide the final charges Owens should face. But during a news conference Tuesday night, Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said,"We do not believe PCP was involved." Investigators were initially told that Green was shot during a struggle that ensued in the police cruiser and that independent witnesses corroborated that scenario. But Stawinski said,"That was not corroborated."
