Richmond Stresses Need For Transparency In Alton Sterling Investigation | 2017-04-28 | 2017 | 2017-04 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – In a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Congressmen Cedric Richmond (LA-02) raised additional concerns about the lack of transparency in the civil rights investigation into the death of Alton Sterling: “I am following up because persistent rumors are circulating in the Baton Rouge area that local law enforcement has been informed of a specific timeline for an announcement,” said Rep. Richmond. “These rumors have risen to the point that local schools and other organizations are expending funds to prepare for a Tuesday announcement. The Department of Justice’s failure to communicate with the community has created angst and nervousness, and I fear this carries the potential for increased tension between the community and law enforcement.” The letter to Attorney General Sessions can be found here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
