Eyewitness testimony Tuesday in the continuing trial three police officers, who are white and Asian American, charged with the 2020 death of Manuel Ellis, a Black man, starkly contradicted the picture the officers’ lawyers painted.
Investigators with the Effingham Co. Sheriff’s Office are asking for the public’s help in retracing the events that left a 13-year-old dead on Halloween 2020.
The claim states that the 23-year-old sought care from the medical center at his base and instead of helping him, the facility released him with no support.
