COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Four years later, after losing their son to what a Columbus family claims to be excessive use of police force, they are speaking out with the help of the NAACP.
Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Mark Jones has also announced his involvement and hopes to bring the case of Hector Arreola before a grand jury.
“We can’t just ignore a death in the community because it involves officers,” Jones said.
