John Crawford, 22-year-old father, was shot down and killed by cops in Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio on August 5, according to the Dayton Daily News.
Family and friends are outraged, and have contacted civil right organizations to look more into the investigation.
They believe Crawford’s rights were violated claiming police opened fired while Crawford was holding a toy gun standing in the toy section of the Walmart. He’s even heard saying, “it’s not real” as he went down during the shooting.
LeeCee Johnson, the mother of Crawford’s children says she was on the phone with him when the shooting happened. Dayton Daily News quotes her,
“We was just talking. He said he was at the video games playing videos and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were. And the next thing I know, he said ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting and they said ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him,” she said, adding: “And I could hear him just crying and screaming. I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human.”
The Beavercreek Police Department have not yet made a comment or released an official statement on the case or confirming that the gun was fake or not. The State now leads the investigation.
According to Johnson, John Crawford was the father of their 1 year old, 4 month old and she is pregnant with their third child.
