Jamal Tooson
Role at the time: attorney for the family of Keith Porter Jr.
Challenged the characterization
Statement summary
Family attorney Jamal Tooson disputed DHS's self-defense framing, arguing the agent chose to move toward the sound of gunfire rather than staying safely inside and calling police.
“He claims he heard gunshots were getting closer to his apartment, but rather than staying at a position of safety, he left his apartment and went downstairs to what would be a position of danger.”
