A grand jury has found the conduct of Tallahassee Police Department in reference to the shooting of Asia Fitzgerald in Tom Brown Park was lawful and justifiable.
Asia Fitzgerald, 25, shot 32 rounds at officers less than 30 yards away. Law enforcement responded with 102 shots — 25 hitting Fitzgerald.
Local authorities are revealing more information about a deadly police involved shooting that occurred nearly a month ago.
New body-cam footage was released Tuesday by Tallahassee’s Police Department. The footage shows the events that led up to the officer involved shooting that later led to the death of Asia Fitzgerald.
Federal court records show Lee was sentenced to seven years in prison, but released early in June 2021, after a judge granted him compassionate release.
