Matthew Ajibade
A brilliant artist and photographer, Matthew Ajibade was killed by law enforcement while in their custody on this past New Year's Day. His family called 911 for medical assistance when Matthew appeared to be having a mental health episode. They gave the police his medication and begged them to take him
to a hospital instead of jail. A few hours later, strapped to a chair, Matthew was dead. It was filmed, but police,
as they are doing all over the country, refuse to release the video.
It's now June and his family still has not received even a basic description of what happened on that day and have been denied the opportunity to look at the video privately.
Below, you will see the newly released coroner's report showing that Matthew died due to blunt force trauma to his head. Nine deputies were fired over his death and how it took place, but no arrests have been made and no answers have been given.
This is unacceptable.
