Family demands independent investigation after deadly police shooting

(KOAA) The family of De’Von Bailey and attorneys for the law firm now representing them held a news conference Tuesday morning to demand an independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting that left the 19-year-old Colorado Springs, Colorado resident dead.

Bailey’s parents addressed the media along with community leaders and attorneys representing the Bailey family in front of the Colorado Springs Police Operations Center.

“We want justice for what was wrongfully done to my son. I know I can’t have him back. I know that he’s in a better place. I know that he has opened a lot of eyes in the community,” said Greg Bailey, De’Von’s father.

“We demand a grand jury investigation, said Reverend Promise Lee. “We demand a prosecutor other than Dan May. We demand an immediate release and review of all body cams and dashcams and all video. We demand it and we demand it now.”
