outside his home on South 3rd Street near Oltorf just after midnight on Nov. 15.

Ring video shows Moonesinghe outside his house with a rifle. He points it towards his house and says, "you want this?" A few seconds later, he fires a shot at his home, and a police car pulls up. He fires again. "I just want to tell the whole world that this kid is an innocent kid. So down-to-earth, very gentle," he said. "I can't believe he's gone. I can't believe this had happened. He got shot for nothing.""We have never heard anything bad about him or arrogant. They are very well-behaved kids. This is unnecessary. We are all, like frozen, you know, we are in a shock. What happened?" he said. "This is ridiculous. This is shocking.

After watching the video, it is evident that the officer who shot Raj did this without identifying himself, without thinking, and before giving my brother a chance to explain who he was and why he was outside. Instead, he arrived without flashing lights or sirens, pulled out an assault rifle, took a hidden defensive position behind a fence 25 yards away, and killed my brother.
