I join with Mr. Ford’s family in grieving his death as well as wanting to make sure that justice is served. “The information in the autopsy is one piece of evidence, but it does not tell the complete story. I echo calls for all witnesses to come forward to share their reports of what they saw last August. This information is vital to ensuring we have the full story of what happened. "Ezell Ford’s family and the South Los Angeles community deserve a full and impartial investigation surrounding the tragic events from this summer. There are many facts to consider—including the Mr. Ford’s mental illness as well Mr. Ford being shot in the back. "I will continue to closely monitor the Los Angeles Police Department’s, the office of inspector general’s and the district attorney's office’s investigations.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
