A grieving family is continuing to demand action after law enforcement officials declined to press charges in last year's police-related shooting death of 65-year-old Yia Xiong.
The family of Yia Xiong, speaking publicly for the first time since prosecutors announced they won’t charge the St. Paul police officer who fatally shot him, said they are “devastated, angry and confused” by the decision. “But in his memory, I hope that St. Paul can learn from this,” said his daughter, Mai Tong Xiong, who called for policy changes for police at a Wednesday press conference. .
