“Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than white people in the U.S. (Race and ethnicity population data from the 2020 Decennial Census). Otis French Jr.’s story is one of far too many.”
Otis French Jr.: A Tragic Story
"What should have been a routine traffic stop became a fatal encounter."
On August 20, 2022, Otis French Jr., a 32-year-old Black man, was pulled over in Bay Minette, Alabama. During the traffic stop, an altercation occurred, and Otis was shot five times by a police officer. Despite a biased investigation clearing the officer involved, the French family and the community continue to demand answers and justice.
