Marlon Brown was run over and killed by police officers in DeLand, Florida, on May 8, a dash cam video his family released shows. Brown, 38, gave chase to the police after refusing to stop his car for a seat belt violation after midnight. When he made a turn down a dead-end street, he fled on foot and was eventually mowed down by the police car driven by rookie policeman, James Harris.<br /><br />Brown, who had spent time in jail and was driving with a suspended license, had been driving through the neighborhood when he spotted Laheia Olvera, a 23-year-old family friend. She was with three other young women and she claimed not to have slept for two days, according to a report by the Daytona Beach News-Journal. She said Brown offered to take her to his home where they could clean up and rest and they accepted the invitation.<br /><br />Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputy drove past Brown's car and noticed that he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, the same Daytona Beach News-Journal reported. He turned his car around to stop Brown, but Brown refused to stop. Szabo alerted police of the incident and eventually 25-year-old DeLand police officer, following another police car, found Brown's vehicle and chased him down.<br /><br />Olvera said Brown jumped out of the car before even stopping, kicking off his flip flops before running away on foot. He ran into a vegetable garden where Harris pursued him, knocking down a fence, then running down the father of two.<br /><br />Autopsy reports reveal that Brown did not die of impact wounds, but rather of mechanical asphyxiation; his head was pinned to his chest under the car, blocking the flow of air. <br /><br />Brown's family has reached a $550,000 settlement with the city but is calling for an independent investigation of the incident in hopes of bring criminal charges against Harris.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
