The family of the man local police officials claim to have committed suicide after getting arrested and handcuffed in the back of a squad car is clamoring for an independent investigation of the case. In the initial reports of the Louisiana State Police, the deceased was said to have shot himself in the back.

With these allegations, the man's family and their lawyers are calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to assist in scrutinizing the discrepancies found in the case.
