The family of a Texas man shot dead by police last week is demanding the release of video and the firing of the officer who opened fire.
National civil rights attorney Ben Crump called for transparency in the case Tuesday alongside the family of the slain Black man, 22-year-old Joshua Feast. Investigators have said Feast had a gun, but Crump said Feast posed no threat and was shot in the back while fleeing. Our eye is focused on justice and justice starts with the firing of this officer and with releasing those videos, Crump said.
