Sheriff Deputies in L.A. Shoot Dead Black Bicyclist Stopped over Alleged Bike Violation

HeadlineSep 02, 2020

Protests took place in Los Angeles for a second day on Tuesday over the police killing of Dijon Kizzee, a 29-year-old Black bicyclist who was shot dead after being pulled over for an alleged bike violation on Monday. Kizzee was repeatedly shot in the back by Los Angeles sheriff deputies as he attempted to flee police. According to the sheriff’s account, Kizzee had a gun but dropped it along with a bundle of clothing before the deputies started shooting him. Community activist Najee Ali decried the police killing, saying, “The deputies essentially executed a man riding his bicycle.”
