DETROIT - The shooting death of Hakim Littleton by Detroit police last summer was one of the city s higher-profile cases during a turbulent and combustible period between law enforcement and activists.
Littleton was shot after he pulled a gun out and shot at officers during an arrest of a separate individual that day. His death sparked a wave of protests that only added fuel to the fire in Detroit which had already been embroiled in protests against police violence last year.
The Detroit police chief has maintained his support and defense of the officers involved. But Littleton s brother Rashad says DPD mishandled the situation. The Wayne County Prosecutor s Office is expected to announce a charging decision today at noon.
