"Black Lives Matter" - that's the catchphrase coming out the movement to agitate against the extraordinary number of persons of color killed by US police in the past year. One of those lives is Kisha Michael, a 31 year old Belizean born in Belmopan who migrated to Los Angeles in the mid 90's. On Sunday February 21st. police shot and killed her and a man inside a car on Inglewood Avenue. They say she was unconscious, but also had a gun.
6 weeks later, and her funeral was held in Los Angeles today. Now, this happened in California, but her brother Delon who lives in Orange Walk told CTV-3 why the story LA police have given the family doesn't add up.
Delon Micheal, Sister shot by Inglewood Police
"The police said to her that they found her dead. Watching the news we saw that the SWAT team was out there along with the Inglewood Police and that's where we knew and we saw that it was them that did it. So I don't know why they went to my mom and told her that they found her dead when they were the ones that killed my sister."
"My thing is even if my sister had a gun, why and what was the reason for them to shoot and using machine guns for 2 persons which was confirmed by the mayor that they were unconscious in a vehicle."
"On my behalf I know personally that my sister had never own a gun. And I do not know my sister as a person that would be travelling with a gun. My sister have 3 sons; the youngest is 3 years old; the oldest is 11. So a mother who is dedicated to her children and taking care of her children - she is a single parent. I don't see the reason why she would have a gun. So I don't know where they got that story from and the next thing, I don't see why they had to call in the SWAT team with machine guns to shoot 2 unconscious persons."
As far as we could find out from news sources on the internet, no disciplinary charges have been brought against any LAPD officer for Kisha's killing.
