Police Shooting Sparks Unrest
c o n t i n u e d f r o m page 2
Brown "was giving up in the sense
of raising his arms and being sub
dued," Walker told The Associated
Press on Monday. The officer "had
his gun raised and started shooting
the individual in the chest multiple
times." The officer then "stood over
him and shot him" after the victim
fell wounded.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon
Belmar previously said that an of
ficer encountered Brown and an
other man outside an apartment
complex, and that one of the men
pushed the officer into his squad
car and they struggled over the
officer's weapon.
Brown's parents and their attor
neys asked the public to share any
information and video recordings
related to the shooting.
The family had planned to drop
their son off at a technical college
Monday to begin his studies.
"Instead of celebrating his fu
ture, they are having to plan his
funeral" and consulting with attor
neys about arranging a second au
topsy, said Benjamin Crump, a fam
ily attorney who also represented
Trayvon Martin's relatives in the
racially charged 2012 slaying in
Florida.
"I don't want to sugarcoat it,"
Crump added. Brown "was executed
in broad daylight."
B ro w n ’s m o th e r,
L esley
McSpadden, said she did not un
derstand why police did not subdue
her son with a club or stun gun. She
said the officer involved should be
fired and prosecuted, adding that "I
would like to see him go to jail with
the death penalty."
Michael Brown
The FBI is looking into possible
civil rights violations arising from
the shooting, said Cheryl Mimura, a
spokeswoman for the agency's St.
Louis field office. She said the FBI
would be investigating regardless
of the public attention surrounding
the matter.
Attorney General Eric Holder said
in a statement that the case de
serves a full review.
Nearly three dozen people were
arrested following a candlelight vigil
Sunday night after crowds looted
and burned stores, vandalized ve
hicles, assaulted and threatened
reporters, and taunted officers who
tried to block access to parts of the
city. More unrest erupted on Mon
day evening.
The scene of the shooting was
marked with a makeshift memorial of
candles and signs in the middle of
the narrow street where Brown fell
dead.
B row n's father, also nam ed
Michael Brown, visited the memo
rial Monday, at one point straight
ening a wooden cross. He abruptly
left after gunshots rang out a block
away. There were no reports o f inju
ries from that gunfire.
