Killing of Ezell Ford

Biography

Ezell Ford was a 25-year-old African-American man who was shot and killed by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers in Florence, Los Angeles, California on August 11, 2014. The officers and eyewitnesses offered competing accounts of the events surrounding the shooting. An investigation by the LAPD's watchdog unit, Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners, concluded in June 2015 that one officer had been justified in the shooting while the other had been unjustified, had acted outside of LAPD policy, and had violated Ford's civil rights by detaining him.
