Statement from Saveion McConnell Legal Team on decision not to criminally charge officer in shooting death

Statement from legal team representing the family of Saveion McConnell:

“The family of Saveion McConnell is devastated by the lack of any criminal charges against the officer who shot Saveion to death. Saveion was unarmed, yet the officer fired multiple rounds even after striking Saveion with his car. The decision not to bring criminal charges does not mean there is an absence of wrongdoing. Our team continues our investigation into the tragic killing of Saveion McConnell.”
