Leonard Allan Cure, 53, died on Monday after a Camden County sheriff’s deputy shot him; the officer has not been officially identified. Cure was exonerated in 2020 after being wrongfully convicted of armed robbery and serving 16 years in prison.His family has retained civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, who has won multimillion-dollar settlements for the relatives of others killed by police. Crump said at a news conference on Wednesday that the officer had acted too aggressively.
In the altercation which lasted just under 3 minutes, Cure argues with the deputy but complies with his orders to get out of the truck and put his hands on the tailgate, the video shows. The deputy hits Cure with a baton and then fires one shot at point blank range with his service weapon and a pop is heard, according to the video.
