Video: Tupelo Seeking Definitive Answers To Questions In Shumpert Lawsuit

TUPELO (WCBI) Lawyers for the City of Tupelo, Mayor Jason Shelton and Police Chief Bart Aquirre are claiming that members of Ronnie Shumpert’s family are dodging questions in a federal lawsuit filed against the city by the family.

Shumpert

Court documents filed today claim the family  has made various statements such as having witnesses who claim he was surrendering when he was shot , that Shumpert was viciously attacked by a police canine and that he was beaten. The city has asked Peggy Shumpert to provide specifics to back up those claims but those have not been included in answers filed by the Shumpert’s. Today’s motion asks the judge to once again force Peggy Shumpert to provide facts to back up the claims or make those claims inadmissible in court.
