Sayed Faisal, a 20-year-old, was shot by police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Jan. 4; hundreds of protesters demanded justice Monday.
"We are completely devastated and in disbelief that our son is gone," the Cambridge residents said."Prince was the most wonderful, loving, caring, generous, supportive, and deeply family-oriented person. He loved to travel, create art, and play sports with his friends."
The Cambridge city manager was set to give an update on the shooting investigation to City Council Monday night. The council has scheduled a special meeting on Jan. 18 to discuss protocols, processes, and training of city police. Cambridge Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui, City Manager Yi-An Huang, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, and Cambridge Police Commissioner Christine Elow are all expected to attend a community meeting on Thursday to discuss the shooting and answer questions from the public.Authorities have not released the name of the officer who opened fire.
According to the preliminary investigation, police received a 911 call early last Wednesday afternoon from a resident who reported seeing a man jumping out of an apartment window with a machete which he appeared to be using to cut himself.Faisal saw police, who requested that he drop the weapon, and ran for several blocks.
He then reportedly moved toward the police while still holding the weapon, even when they fired a less-than-lethal round at him. He continued to advance and one officer fired a gun, striking Faisal, who later died at a hospital, authorities said.
