Columbus, Georgia (PRWEB) March 29, 2015

Zikarious Flint was killed March 30, 2014 in an incident involving Columbus State University Police Officer Ben Scott. According to the death certificate, Flint was shot once in the back and once in the back of the head. Flint was shot while running from officers on campus. The family is still waiting for answers to their questions on what exactly happened one year ago.

Attorney Katonga L. Wright, Esq. of The Wright Legal Group, LLC, spokesperson for the Flint family stated, "On the anniversary of the death of Zikarious Flint, we are concerned about the time it has taken for the family to get information about the case. The District Attorney's office has denied the family access to important facts and evidence gathered by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation until a decision is made about whether or not to charge Officer Ben Scott criminally," said Wright.

"It's been a year since my son was killed. We want accountability and answers to what happened to Zikarious. Right now, I don't think this is a race issue, however, the longer this process takes, the more I wonder. We want the truth," says Shamanique Flint, mother of Zikarious Flint.

A news conference to bring awareness to the status of the Zikarious Flint case will be held Monday, March 30th at 10:00am, Columbus Public Library Auditorium, 3000 Macon Road, Columbus, Georgia 31906. The parents of Zikarious Flint, Homer & Shamanique Flint, will be present. Others invited to comment are Julia Slater, District Attorney Office Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit, and Columbus State University.
