GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A press conference by the civil rights attorney of Samuel Sterling's family is underway.
Sterling, 25, was hit by an unmarked Michigan State Police vehicle on April 17. He later died at the hospital.
Attorney Ben Crump is the keynote speaker at the press conference held at 4:30 p.m. at the Renaissance Church in Grand Rapids.
Former County Commissioner Robert Womack spoke ahead of Crump's speech.
"This is two years, almost to the day, Ben Crump was in here for Patrick Lyoya," said Womack, "We must not have did enough when it comes to Patrick Lyoya. We will not make the same mistake with samuel sterling. We will get justice!"
On April 20, family members and local activists held a gathering in the parking lot of the Burger King on 52nd Street and Eastern Avenue in Kentwood, where Sterling was hit.
"Justice for Samuel. Release the tape. Name that officer," was chanted by the nearly 100 people who had gathered.
Investigators say evidence will be shared with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Nessel confirmed they would be reviewing the investigation on Thursday.
In a statement, Nessel said in part:
"My public integrity unit has investigated dozens of police-involved incidents and is dedicated to providing a thorough and just review and resolution in each one."
On Friday Lori Latham, the assistant county administrator for Kent County, confirmed Sterling's cause of death is listed on his death certificate as "accidental."
However, she said it's important to note that that does not mean charges can't be filed in the case.
