The Jan. 29, 2010, police killing of Aaron M. Campbell, an unarmed Black man shot in the back after officers arrived to check on his welfare, drew intense scrutiny in Portland, a grand jury rebuke, a march on City Hall and public condemnation from the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
On Wednesday, Campbell’s death garnered international attention.
Campbell’s mother, Marva Davis, and the family’s lawyer, Tom Steenson, had an hour to address an international commission delving into police violence against Blacks in the United States.
