	"description": "On February 28, 2023, Alaunte Scott was murdered on the 4300 block of 3rd St. SE by U.S. Marshals (USMS) assisted by D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Police shot Alaunte seven times in the back. According to several reports, U.S. Marshals parked and waited outside for hours before seeing Alaunte. It appears Alaunte’s was on his way to take out the trash before meeting with his probation officer. Just minutes later, federal law enforcement took this young Black man&#x27;s life. Chief Contee claims an MPD officer “responded to this location to assist the U.S Marshals of D.C Superior Court Division.” He did not provide a reason why MPD was called to respond, the number of MPD officers on the scene, or what they did there. Police further allege that Alaunte ran “a short or slight distance” and “produced” a gun. Public statements from law enforcement simply do not add up. Leaving out details furthers community suspicions that the police are not telling the truth. That is why we are calling on the Biden administration, the Department of Justice and MPD to immediately release all body-worn footage, so Alaunte&#x27;s family and community can see what really happened. On behalf of Alaunte Scott&#x27;s family and community, we demand the following: We demand the Department of Justice release video footage from the apartment complex’s surveillance cameras, and all investigative reports and findings related to Alaunte Scott’s murder. We demand the US Marshals Service release the names of the US Marshals that killed Alaunte Scott and release all investigative reports and findings. We demand Mayor Bowser and Acting Chief of Police Smith release all investigative reports, and findings including Force Investigation Team (FIT) reports, and all MPD body-worn-camera footage related to Alaunte’s murder.",
