Bounmy Ousa

Mr. Ousa, a 60-year old father was killed by undercover narcotics officers in 2005. Ousa had gone out of his house to investigate a suspicious car parked in front of his house. Officers in the undercover police vehicle were conducting surveillance of a house down the street in preparation for a narcotics raid. While speaking with the officers, they claim Ousa appeared to reach behind his back. Assuming he was reaching for a weapon, an Officer shot and killed him. They searched Ousa’s house and retrieved a flashlight, which they claimed Ousa had pulled out of his pants in a manner that threatened the police, justifying their actions.
