Authorities say they received different accounts of what happened. Witnesses vs. family. It’s unfortunate the family was trying to paint a different scene. They were outnumbered by the crowd of strangers who saw what actually happened. Washington, DC residents don’t play games.

We can’t just send out someone else’s personal video who did not want it shared, Susana. In all fairness, we told you about the situation so your office was already aware before the interview. We asked to do a one on one before the event or after and you all declined.
