A Black Lives Matter organization based in Polk County is joining the family of a Tampa man in questioning reports that he shot at police before they used deadly force during an April traffic stop.
Carl Soto, vice president of Black Lives Matter Restoration Polk, told reporters at a Wednesday news conference outside Tampa police headquarters, that his organization had a witness and video that contradicted Tampa police accounts of the death of Jonas Joseph . Police reported that Jonas Joseph, 26, was driving a car that matched a description of one tied to an earlier shooting. They say Joseph pulled into the driveway of a home on East Palifox Street, tried to ram a police vehicle and then took off... crashing his car into a tree and then shooting at officers, five of whom shot back. Those officers were placed on administrative leave as the shooting was being investigated.
