Another unarmed Black man has been shot and killed by law enforcement. This latest shooting took place in Killeen, Texas, where doorbell footage shows the moments before and after Patrick Warren Sr., 52, was shot and killed by a police officer on Sunday, January 10.
During a press conference held on Thursday, January 14, Civil Rights Attorney Lee Merritt, who is representing Warren’s family, said, “there’s no reason that a mental health call like this should result in a fatality.”
Merritt explained that Warren was experiencing a mental crisis over the weekend. Family members called law enforcement and asked that they send a mental health professional for assistance.
