Washington, DC teen's shooting death not ‘centered around race,' police chief criticizes misinformation
Fox News
Metropolitan police Chief Robert Contee said Tuesday the "misinformation" and "assumptions" spreading about the shooting death of 13-year-old Karon Blake are damaging and unfair.
"There's been too much misinformation swirling around this incident, too many people have made assumptions about this case, and it is unfair to the grieving family," Contee said. "Spreading of inaccurate information is dangerous, reckless, and has the potential to adversely impact the investigation and the relationships in our community."
He added that the department understands the community's desire to learn the details of the shooting, but said sharing specific information could jeopardize the integrity of the case since the investigation is active.
