Attorneys Ben Crump & Antonio Romanucci demand body cam footage of Jakarta Jackson's death by Rock Island Police

Statement from Attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio M. Romanucci and the legal team representing the family of Jakarta Jackson:

“The legal team representing loved ones of Jakarta Jackson is deeply troubled by the lack of full transparency given to the family today, as a carefully edited PowerPoint presentation shared only slivers of the deadly encounter with Rock Island Police. Importantly, what the family did not get to see were the critical seconds before the officer fired his weapon, killing Jakarta. Without the full picture of what happened, it is impossible to believe the law enforcement narrative that the shooting was justified. The community must ask the police: what are they hiding that they would not allow the family to witness the entire encounter? The entire story is still known to only one side - that of the Rock Island Police Department - and their idea of full transparency falls short of what the community demands and deserves. We will continue to insist on the full truth for those who loved Jakarta Jackson.”
