The death of a 22-year-old African-American man shortly after a struggle with police last week has been ruled homicide. Keeven Robinson died last Thursday, following a police chase and an altercation with narcotics detectives from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, located outside of New Orleans. Undercover detectives assigned to the case tracked Robinson down at a local gas station and tried to arrest him, but he jumped back into his vehicle and led the police on a chase. He rammed several police cars before crashing his own vehicle. An initial autopsy found significant traumatic injuries to the soft tissue of Robinson's neck, said Jefferson Parish Coroner Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich. Robinson's family is also seeking a second independent autopsy.
Keevan Robinson's death is very concerning and suspicious. Police brutality is a very serious topic in our country, but is controversial in this situation, according to the investigators of this case. This is important to US history because there are multiple deaths by police officers under investigation and are mostly caused by brutality and unnecessary violence.
