Family Wants New Autopsy In Police Killing Of Antonio Zambrano-Montes

A second autopsy will be conducted on the rock-throwing Mexican orchard worker shot to death by police in Washington state after his family requested an independent examination.

The fatal shooting of 35-year-old Antonio Zambrano-Montes by police officers on Feb. 10 was captured on a widely seen video. With three other police killings in the small city in the previous six months, Pasco, Washington, has become a new flash point in the national debate about police violence.

The three officers involved have been placed on leave until the investigation is complete.

HuffPost could not reach members of Zambrano-Montes’ family.
