Atlanta, October 12 (RHC)-- Relatives of a slain African-American man in Georgia are accusing police of shooting him dead without cause in his own home.
Police were apparently summoned to the home of Jack Lamar Roberson by accident after his fiancé called 911 to seek emergency medical help. Roberson was diabetic and had apparently been acting erratically.
When police showed up instead of an ambulance, officers say Roberson was armed with two knifes. But his fiancé, Alicia Herron, tearfully denied the police account, saying that the police made it up to justify the deadly shooting.
