The 15-year-old Juan Carlos Bojorquez was killed in July during a struggle after police stopped him on suspicion of being in a stolen vehicle.
In addition to the unredacted camera footage, the family wants the police report from the day of the shooting, Hernandez told city council during an open comments portion of its evening meeting.Glendale Police Department
The department has also said a blue-painted handgun was found in the vehicle. The department previously said once the investigation is complete, findings will be forwarded to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review. During the meeting, nonprofit Poder in Action organizer Luke Black implored that the city council order an investigation not overseen by the Glendale and Buckeye police departments.
Hernandez, who said the shooting took place in the state senate district she will be serving, told city council the family wanted the return of cell phones they say were taken from witnesses to the shooting. “We’re outside waiting in the hot sun for hours on end, waiting to go see our family member and they told us that he was stable but hospital policy said we couldn’t go in,” she said. “We get the medical report. Hospital tells us Glendale Police told them not to cooperate with the family. Why couldn’t we be there with him while he was dying?”
