## Description

#KilledByPolice - Remembering musical prodigy Herman Whitfield III: After calling for an ambulance to help her son deal with a mental crisis, six Indianapolis Police officers showed up & killed Herman Whitfield III by electrocuting & suffocating him to death face down for more than 5 minutes. 

Two years ago in April, while experiencing a crisis, Herman III was naked, unarmed & not threatening anyone when, instead of medical personnel, police officers showed up to his mother's house. Officers tased, tackled, and double handcuffed Herman III before killing him. 

IMPD Officers Steven Sanchez & Adam Ahmad have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. They are the first officers in Indianapolis to be charged for participating in a killing while on duty. The latest trial dates (which are subject to change) are listed as pre-trial on June 17 and jury trial starting on June 24. 

None of the officers involved have faced disciplinary action by the IMPD. Herman's family is demanding for all six officers involved to be fired and charged with killing Herman III and violating the rights of his parents.
