Due to recent developments, "Where is the urgency?" has been updated:
Earlier this year on June 17th, Bilal “BJ” Abdullah was shot and killed by three Baltimore City police officers. He was well known in communities and neighborhoods throughout Baltimore City as an arabber, selling fruits and vegetables from a horse-drawn cart. He was also reportedly known to have mental challenges as well.
For six months, the Independent Investigations Division (IID) in Maryland’s Attorney General office conducted their investigation.
Just days before Christmas Day, the Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announced his decision, based on the IID’s report findings, not to prosecute any of the police officers involved in Abdullah’s death. The decision was met with anger and frustration from Abdullah’s family as the family’s attorney stated his intention to legally challenge the report findings.
