San Bernardino, July 21 (RHC)-- In the U.S. city of San Bernardino, California, the family of a Black man shot dead by police is calling for charges to be filed against the officers involved. 

Over the weekend, two officers jumped out of an unmarked police car and within seconds shot 23-year-old Robert Adams in the back as he tried to run for cover.  Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family, shared security camera footage of the shooting, which he described as a “horrific execution.” 

In a statement, Crump said: “Robert appeared to be simply walking around the parking lot when officers exited their unmarked vehicle firing their weapons at him immediately. Robert never had a chance to explain himself.” 

A spokesperson for the San Bernardino Police Department said Adams “fit the description” of a tip police were investigating, but the spokesperson admitted to The Guardian that the officers had no knowledge of who Adams was or his background when they shot him.
