While authorities did not immediately release the man s name, family and friends identified him as Winston Smith Jr., a 32-year-old father of three.
At a Friday news conference, Smith s sister, Tieshia Floyd, said her brother s reputation had been smeared and any past mistakes he made did not justify his death. My brother was kind, she said. No, he wasn t perfect. None of us are. He was trying to turn over a new leaf but they took that away from him.
