   The family of Anthony Lowe is calling for justice after he was   
   shot and killed by Huntington Park police Jan. 26.   
      
   Police claim Lowe, a 36-year-old double amputee who used a   
   wheelchair, threatened officers with a 12-inch knife on Slauson   
   Avenue that Thursday afternoon near the site of a reported   
   stabbing by an assailant in a wheelchair.   
      
   Police tried to use a stun gun on Lowe, but it did not work, and   
   when Lowe threatened to throw the knife at officers, at least   
   one opened fire, police added.   
      
   On Thursday, Lowe’s family unveiled their plans to sue the   
   Huntington Park Police Department as they believe his death was   
   unjustified.   
      
   “Let’s make this clear: what we saw that day, what is on video,   
   is a clear murder. Mr. Lowe was murdered that day,” said   
   Christian Contreras, an attorney for the family. “He was running   
   away, he was not a threat. He was on his stumps, a disabled man   
   killed in broad daylight.”   
      
   Lowe’s family and community activists believe he was shot in the   
   back, and they say surveillance video will prove it.   
      
   “How do you need to put into words the limitations on his   
   physical mobility?” Cliff Smith of the L.A.-based Coalition for   
   Community Control Over the Police told The Washington Post. “The   
   officers are in their full capacity. It’s beyond absurd to say   
   that the officers are in any risk.”   
      
   Austin Dove, another attorney for the Lowe family, said the   
   officers created the fear, and “lethal force is a last resort.”   
      
   “There were so many other options … There’s no reason to pull   
   out guns and fire and shoot a person who’s disabled, who can’t   
   even move, and whose wheelchair is a few feet behind him, and   
   you shoot him 11 times,” Dove said.   
      
   In a Monday press conference, Lowe’s family mourned his death   
   and directly placed the blame on the officers.   
      
   “I just want the truth, nothing but the truth and justice for my   
   son,” said Lowe’s mother, Dorothy Lowe, said in the previous   
   news conference. “My son was murdered.”   
      
   Video shows that in the moments leading up to the shooting, Lowe   
   was out of his wheelchair and was attempting to walk away from   
   the officers.   
      
   “This is a man, a father, a son, a brother who was gunned down   
   by the police, so that’s what matters to us right now,” added   
   Lowe’s sister, Yatoya Toy, who added that Lowe’s legs were   
   amputated last year after an altercation with law enforcement in   
   Texas.   
      
   Huntington Park officers do not wear body cameras, and the Los   
   Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has not released any   
   surveillance video.   
      
   The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave   
   while the investigation continues.
