Fliers are expected to be distributed by city workers today to about 500 residents in the River Park and Jasmine Cay communities. Moore said the fliers will contain no information that hasn't already been reported in the news media, but some residents do not read newspapers or watch local TV news. City officials are hoping the fliers will alleviate racial tensions until the investigation is completed. MacKenzie said Thursday the city needs to hear the whole story. And we all know there were more than six people there.
Witnesses are reportedly afraid of police investigators and are reluctant to discuss what they saw.
Stansbury was responding to a call from a River Park resident who said fighting had broken out in a large crowd that had gathered at the apartment complex and that numerous shots were being fired. Police said Stansbury heard shots as he pulled up to the River Park complex, he then ran toward the Jasmine Cay apartments where he saw Harris fire once before turning to run. Stansbury fired one round from his .40-caliber duty firearm, striking Harris in the back. Shells from two firearms were found at the scene. A weapon was found beneath the bushes near where Harris was shot two hours after the incident, leading some to allege that police planted the weapon.
