US black man shot three times by LAPD

An autopsy report for an unarmed black man, who was killed by police officers in Los Angeles in summer, shows he was shot three times at close range.

Ezell Ford, 25, was fatally shot on August 11 by two Los Angeles Police Department officers.

Police allege that Ford tried to grab one of the officers’ guns, but his family and witnesses have denied the allegations.

According to a copy of the report, posted online by The Los Angeles Times on Monday, a muzzle imprint left on Ford’s skin by a wound to the back suggests that the black man was shot at close range.

The report also shows that Ford was shot three times, once in the back, once in the arm and once in the abdomen.

The autopsy report was published after residents complained of a lack of transparency in police investigations.

According to a family member, Ford was diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression, and he was taking medication and seeing a doctor.

The attorney for Ford’s family has filed a federal lawsuit and a $75 million claim against the city.

Ford‘s death is among a string of cases this year in which black men were killed by white officers under contentious circumstances.

Massive protests have been held in Los Angeles and other cities across the US over police brutality against African-Americans.
