COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Attorneys for the family of a young black man who was fatally shot by Colorado Springs police called for an independent special prosecutor to investigate his death on Monday.

Surveillance video obtained last week by The Gazette showed 19-year-old De’Von Bailey running from two officers before falling to the ground.

Colorado Springs police have said an officer shot Bailey on Aug. 3 after he reached for a gun but they have not elaborated, citing a pending El Paso County Ssheriff’s Office investigation and subsequent review by the district attorney.

Attorneys for Bailey’s family said that system has too many conflicts, as the police department, sheriff’s office and district attorney work together.

City officials should appoint a special prosecutor to refer the case to a grand jury, they said.

“An independent and impartial special prosecutor should be given the important responsibility of bringing charges against the officers involved in this tragedy,” attorneys Darold Killmer and Mari Newman said in a statement.

The shooting comes at a time when law enforcement agencies across the country are under scrutiny in the killing of black men.

Bailey’s death has prompted several protests in Colorado Springs, including one heated rally that ended when police arrested two bail bondsmen who arrived on motorcycles and drew guns after a scuffle with some of the protesters.

Attorneys said Bailey’s relatives also want all footage from officers’ body-worn cameras and patrol dash cameras to be released.

“We want to make sure that it’s all the information, not just what the police think supports their side of things,” Killmer said.

The Rev. Promise Lee, a pastor working with Bailey’s family, said Bailey’s body has been released to the family. Lee said he observed gunshot wounds on Bailey’s body at a funeral home.

“Regardless of how many times you look at that video, it’s undeniable that this shooting was excessive and uncalled for,” Lee said.

The sheriff’s office said Thursday that it expects to complete its investigation by the end of this week for review by prosecutors.

A spokesman for the police department said Friday that it will allow body camera footage from two officers capturing “the moments leading up to, including and immediately following the shooting” to be released.
