ABC News reports:

Attorneys for the family of a man shot and killed by police in Miami Gardens earlier this year released 19 minutes of dash-cam video today that they say indicates the man was being pursued by police and told to get on the ground before he was shot by police.
Lavall Hall, 25, was shot on the morning of Sunday, Feb. 15, after his mother, Catherine Daniels, reportedly called police for what she said was her son’s mental issues.
She has said her son had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and she hoped police would take him to a mental health facility, according to Fusion.
His lawyers said Hall was holding a broomstick and dressed only in his underpants.
“In the video, you’ll see Lavall runs away from the officers,” an attorney for the family Glen Goldberg said at a news conference today before screening the video in which the actual killing is never seen. “The officers had made up their minds that they were going to kill Lavall before this incident took place.”
