Alexandria, La. (11/20/2022) – Attorney Ben Crump and co-counsel Ronald Haley have been retained by the family of Derrick Kittling. Mr. Crump is a national civil rights and personal injury attorney.
Mr. Kittling was shot and killed during a traffic stop by a Rapides Parish Sheriff’s deputy on Sunday, November 6, 2022. The reason that Kittling was stopped is under investigation by the Louisiana State Police at the request of Sheriff Mark Wood.
Attorney Crump issued the following statement:
“Our thoughts are with the Kittling family as they grieve the loss of Derrick and search for answers as to why their loved one was killed. We stand with the family, dedicated and determined, to learn why Derrick, who was unarmed, was subject to that traffic stop and why he did not make it home that day.
“Video evidence is the most reliable and transparent way to obtain answers and explanations in cases of deaths resulting from law enforcement actions. We urge the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office to release all footage from this incident so that this family and community can get the closure and answers they deserve.”
