[QUOTE="WPLG, post: 38105, member: 158"] A heartbroken South Florida family remains in mourning months after their loved one was shot and killed by a Miami police officer. The grieving family gathered Wednesday night to demand justice. Antwon Cooper was just 34 years old when his life was ended by a police-fired bullet. The shooting occurred near the intersection of Northwest 71st Street and 10th Avenue in Miami exactly three months ago on March 8. Cooper was behind the wheel of a red sedan during a traffic stop that day when an officer determined he didn’t have his license and asked Cooper to step out of the car. Not long after there was a struggle and Cooper apparently attempted to flee. One officer ended up on the ground while a second one fired the shot that struck Cooper in the head and killed him.
