We lost a brother and we're grieving over this. I cry every day. Most of the black residents say they think Stansbury wasn't justified in shooting Harris. Few details of the State Attorney's Office investigation into the shooting have been revealed so far. State Attorney's investigators say they are waiting on test results to be returned from state labs.
Residents say they are basing their assessments on eyewitness reports.
The upstart River Park Coalition for Justice, which began in the aftermath of the incident, has already called Harris' shooting unjustified. The group has organized peaceful protests, met with city officials and asked for an independent investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department. The Naples City Council agreed Tuesday night to look into creating a volunteer human relations commission and took initial steps toward forming a citizens review panel to look into complaints from the minority community about Naples police. The council also directed staff to research whether to create a new position for a paid human relations liaison or to assign the job to a current employee. But on Friday, what the coalition wanted was the government to stand by them and request an independent federal investigation.
