Tesfaye Negussie and Ivan PereiraThe family of a Black man who was killed after he was hit by an unmarked police car in Michigan spoke out on Saturday after body camera footage of the incident was released by investigators.
The body camera footage released Friday showed officers rushing to Sterling on the ground after he was hit moaning in pain and claiming he did not have a gun. The unmarked police vehicle is seen up on a curb next to the restaurant in front of Sterling. Officers are seen putting handcuffs on Sterling and telling firefighters who responded to the scene to keep the cuffs on.
The state police trooper who was driving the vehicle that hit Sterling was not wearing a body camera and his vehicle did not have a dash camera "due to his assignment on a federal task force," Michigan State Police said in a statement. "We would like to express to the family and community that we know you are grieving the death of Mr. Sterling. The Trooper involved is heartbroken at the loss of Mr. Sterling's life and wants the family to know that he had no intention of purposely harming Mr. Sterling," Curtis said in a statement.
