Supervisor asks attorney general to review death of black man found hanging in tree
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger on Saturday formally requested that California's attorney general conduct an independent investigation into the death of a young Black man who was found this week hanging from a tree near Palmdale City Hall.
Many of the people at Saturday’s memorial expressed anger and frustration at Fuller’s death and what they see as a rush by authorities to label it a suicide. On Friday, Lt. Kelly Yagerlener of the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner’s office said a decision on the cause of Fuller's death has been deferred pending an investigation. A full autopsy is planned.
“We want to find out the truth on what really happened,” Alexander said. “Everything they told us is not right. We just want the truth. My brother was not suicidal. He was a survivor. He was street smart.” Fuller's death is still being investigated by homicide detectives, Ballentine said, adding that he had no updates. The lieutenant said he, personally, would have no problem with an independent probe, which Ali intends to call for on Monday.
The residents asked whether there were cameras around the park. The city said there were no outdoor cameras, and video recorders on a nearby traffic signal could not have captured what happened. "All alone, in front of the City Hall — it’s more like a statement," she said."Even if it was a suicide, that in itself is kind of a statement.""The city of Palmdale is joining the family [of Robert Fuller] and the community's call for justice, and we do support a full investigation into his death," Palmdale Public Information Officer John Mlynar said. We will settle for nothing less than a thorough accounting of this matter.
More than a hundred congregants and friends of the Cochran Avenue Baptist Church marched through Mid-Wilshire protesting the treatment of Black people across the country."We pray for a public witness to all the injustice that’s in our community," he said.
