A prominent civil rights lawyer said authorities are refusing to release video of the eight-second incident.
Michael Jonathan Cortez was crouched in a “surrendering position” with no weapon in his hands when an FBI agent burst into an Oakland smoke shop and fatally shot him in the chest, a new lawsuit filed by his parents claims.
The FBI has alleged that Cortez tried to flee and brandished a gun during the eight-second encounter with an agent in the 2500 block of Fruitvale Avenue. The agent was part of a federal task force charged with executing federal and local warrants who had been surveilling Cortez because he had a warrant from the feds and Hayward against him,.
