Police fired close to 20 shots into Dijon Kizzee’s back. FMTNews

Protesters demonstrating against the killing of Dijon Kizzee in Los Angeles on Aug 31.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Kizzee, whose identity was confirmed by the county medical examiner-coroner, was shot fewer than 20 times after dropping a handgun he had been carrying and punching one of the deputies. “You don’t kill any race but us, and it don’t make any sense,” Fletcher Fair, Dijon Kizzee’s aunt, told reporters at the site of the shooting on Tuesday where activists called for an independent investigation by California’s attorney-general. “Why us?”

Kizzee was riding his bike on Monday afternoon in Los Angeles County’s Westmont neighbourhood when two sheriff’s deputies who had been driving by tried to stop him. The deputies said a semi-automatic handgun was in the dropped bundle, and both of them began shooting Kizzee, the department said.
