Police said at the time that Poole was shot with a rifle, and an officer found him lying dead in the street. A witness later told police that when he asked another onlooker to call 911, the person profanely declined, claiming Poole had just tried to rob him, according to court records."

Poole's family is unhappy with the result. In an email to this news organization, his sister condemned the injustice, corruption, and racism from people that have been sworn in under oath and vowed to protect and serve their community has failed my family."
