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.
A lawsuit filed Thursday night by civil rights attorneys Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson and Steven Hart over the shooting death of two Black Cocoa teens by a Brevard County Sheriff's deputy goes beyond putting the actions of two deputies on trial; it's an indictment of Sheriff Wayne Ivey's office. "You will see the allegations we have are not only against the officers, because the officer is born of a culture that Wayne Ivey has provided for his officers in Brevard County," Natalie Jackson told media and supporters standing outside the Moore Justice Center in Viera Friday morning. Crump, flanked by co-counsel Jackson, the families of Sincere Pierce and Angelo "A.J." Crooms and local activists and community members, called for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the Sheriff's Office and also review the decision by State Attorney Phil Archer not to charge BCSO deputy Jafet Santiago-Miranda in the killing of A.J. and Pierce.

"The Brevard County Sheriff's Office had a duty not to retain deputies like Santiago-Miranda, who has repeatedly shown that they were unfit for service, and expose citizens" like Crooms and Pierce "to such unfitness," the lawsuit alleges. "The Brevard County Sheriff's Office breached that duty when it retained and placed Santiago-Miranda armed on the street of Brevard County, despite his criminal history and demonstrated violent tendencies over the course of more than a decade. and as recently as a few months before killing A.J. Crooms and Sincere Pierce." The lawsuit alleges that Santiago-Miranda "had an alarming and disqualifying criminal history" of such a level that he should not have been a deputy.
