BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced a lawsuit Friday after a deputy fatally shot a 16-year-old and 18-year-old in Florida last year.
The lawsuit comes the day after the state attorney’s office announced that the officer who shot and killed the two Black teens, 18-year-old Sincere Pierce and 16-year-old Angelo A.J. Crooms, would not face criminal charges.
Families of the two teens have repeatedly disputed what the sheriff s and state attorney s offices have said: A.J., who was driving at the time of the stop, was attempting to run into the deputy. The two teens were fatally shot on Nov. 13, 2020 at a traffic stop, when Brevard County deputy Jafet Santiago-Miranda shot 10 bullets into the vehicle as it moved slowly forward, wheels turned towards the curb.
