Ebrahimi, a Muslim, was killed in the early hours of July 13, 2013 — stomped to death in the grassy common area outside his working-class apartment complex on Capgrave Crescent in Bristol. His parents died when he was young, and according to the IPCC report, his immigrated to Britain in 2000, receiving indefinite permission from the government to stay as refugee a year later. At 1:23 a.m. July 14, another call came into the station, this time a report of a body lying in the common area. Police would later determine that Lee James accosted Ebrahimi on his own when Ebrahimi stepped outside to water his flowers. According to the judge’s remarks at a later sentencing, an intoxicated James attacked Ebrahimi, knocking him to the ground.
