Attorney: Dijon Kizzee Fatally Shot by Deputies While Lying on Ground:
At around 3:15 p.m. on Monday, in the proximity of West 109th Place and Budlong Avenue in South LA, LASD deputies saw Dijon Kizzee, 29, and chose to stop him for “riding a bicycle in an unlawful manner.” The encounter became fatal when two sheriff deputies shot Kizzee 15 times, “seven times with his profile of the back pointing toward deputies” according to autopsy report. The killing has sparked two days of protests exceeding the Westmont community, and has become another spotlight in the national controversy about police violence used on Black people.
