Attorneys for the family of a teen who died after an encounter with Greensboro police last year are speaking out against a decision not to charge the officer involved. Seventeen-year-old Nasanto Crenshaw was shot while trying to flee during a traffic stop on West Market Street in August. Late last month, Guilford County District Attorney Avery Crump cleared the officer Corporal M.L. Sletten in connection with the shooting following a probe by the State Bureau of Investigation.
Attorneys of Nasanto Crenshaw's family reviewed body cam footage from the moments leading up to a Greensboro Police officer shooting and killing the 17-year-old.
Attorneys representing the family of a 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a Greensboro police officer are responding to the district attorney after they said the DA failed to pursue charges against the officer.
A decision by the state Court of Appeals published this week upholds the 2017 firing of a WSSU professor who wrote a racially incendiary letter to his supervisors protesting a decision over an academic conference. The schools says it was part of the reason for his dismissal. His lawyer says he s protected by the First Amendment.
