Community members express anger over teen's traffic stop death after officer faces no charges
ABC News
A Florida Highway Patrol investigation determined that an officer involved in a vehicular purist that resulted in the death of a 13 year-old boy will not face changes.
Community members voiced their concerns during a city commission meeting in Boynton Beach, Florida, on Tuesday evening after an investigation into the death of a 13-year-old boy, who died after his dirt bike crashed during an attempted traffic stop, determined that the officer will not face any changes.
Stanley Davis III, known as "SJ" to his family and friends, died on Dec. 26, 2021, after he lost control of his dirt bike and crashed into a curb while being pursued by a Boynton Beach police officer.
"I think it was a slap in the face, a disservice and a dishonor for highway patrol to come to that conclusion," a community member told incoming city officials who were sworn into office during the meeting.
"You all right now have the opportunity to do the right thing -- to make that determination to terminate him ... this SJ movement is still what it's about and we're asking that you all pay attention to it."
