A Florida deputy’s shooting of an unarmed black man nearly two years ago was under renewed scrutiny following the emergence of a video.
Dashboard camera video of the shooting of Dontrell Stephens was released Thursday as part of a joint investigation by The Palm Beach Post and WPTV of more than 250 police shootings, and raised questions about Palm Beach County Deputy Adams Lin’s decision to fire shots. Stephens, 22, who was being pursued by Lin on Sept. 13, 2013, for allegedly impeding traffic while crossing a West Palm Beach street on his bicycle, was left a paraplegic by his injuries.
