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."
