LOS ANGELES: Unarmed Californian Stephon Clark was shot eight times – mostly in the back – by police in Sacramento, according to a private autopsy released Friday that said he lay dying for several minutes. The legal team for the family of Stephon Clark, who was shot and killed by Sacramento police, held a news conference to announce their findings of an independent autopsy performed by renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu. The autopsy showed that Clark was shot eight times. Clark appeared to fit the suspect’s profile and officers chased him, backed by a helicopter equipped with infrared cameras. “Outside autopsy released and the first shot was in his left side WHICH MEANS HE WAS GOING INTO HIS HOUSE AND NOT CHARGING OFFICERS,” the group said in a Facebook post.
