Family of Tucson Man Who Died in Police Custody Demands Charges for Officers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tucson, Arizona, the family of 27-year-old Carlos Ingram López, who
was killed in police custody in April, is demanding charges be brought
against officers involved in his death, after prosecutors said they
would not face an indictment. Ingram López died on April 21 after
officers pinned him face down to the ground for 12 minutes at his
grandmother's house. In police bodycam video, Ingram López can be heard
asking for water and his grandmother. At one point he says, "I can't
breathe."
