Well. What we learn is that our son is was
killed today, but we tried today to
get him help. Today me and his mom.
To go get him help, we called we called.
She called today and talked to the
911 and tell them what was going on.
We was at his residence and.
They were supposed that they came.
They supposed to come.
We waited like an hour and 45 minutes.
We try our best to hold
them there and he left.
This is what this is. What I want to say.
When? I came to my son's
apartment today to check on him.
I saw that he wasn't well.
I called 911. I let them know.
My son has mental health issues.
Not sure if he used any
substances in reference to pills,
maybe I don't know, but I
explained to them in great detail.
My biggest fear. When I got on the phone
with them, they say he's
an African American male.
Please make sure whoever shows up
is trained and knowledgeable so when
they deal with my son I don't have
to worry about my son being killed.
I waited.
Almost 2 hours they didn't show.
Try to keep them. He left out.
Not even. 3045 minutes later.
He on the news.
So you mean to tell me?
When we call and tell you.
That a person has a mental health issue.
They are in a manic phase to the
degree that we don't know if they
he's going to do harm to himself
or what. We need help.
So we reach out to the Police
Department. Come help my son,
but make sure when you come I don't
care about all the education I got.
I made sure I was descriptive.
I made sure they knew when they came. They
don't hurt my child.
He left. 45 minutes later.
I'm assuming from what I'm
learning my son is deceased.
This is an interview that I'd
never wish on my worst enemy,
but I won't child, you know,
something has to change and I
want to be a part of that change.
I don't want to see another mother
that's out there struggling and their
worst fear is being killed by a cop.
Now I don't know how to details
and that's neither here nor there.
The truth of the matter is,
I waited for two hours for help.
I go out on the sidewalk.
I see police officers. Driving by midtown.
I go to the end of the block.
I see police officers standing
at the end of the block.
Where's my help?
My son leaves not even 10 minutes.
Before they arrived,
if they would have came even
an hour and 15 minutes early,
my son would have still been here
or even told them when I called.
I said I already did my due diligence.
I already called to make sure that they
had a bed at Riverwood behavior health.
I said I called and made sure I'm
going to follow them down there.
I do all the paperwork for my son,
I said so all you have to
do is transport them.
I just need your help to transport
them and they didn't show.
And you've verbalized how verbalized it,
and I said, I wanna make sure
that I communicate this to you,
so that way when they come,
they don't kill my son and they
give him the help that he needs.
Still, they would be out there immediately.
You know you don't have to worry
and ask me about the description.
You know all the formalities?
That was all fine,
but when this happened here at
this establishment in Buckhead,
they come immediately.
But you made me wait two hours
almost 2 hours.
And if they would have came,
even if they would have came an
hour and 15 minutes after our call,
given the fact that they outside
doing other stuff standing on the
corner with another situation.
11 cop not doing anything sitting
at the light,
but nobody don't come to my call.
If you would have came Alisa album 15
minutes an hour and 20 minutes early,
my son would have still been here.
I would have rather for him to be
in a psychiatric hospital opposed
to being outside in a body bag.
OK. But what were the the circumstances
that happened here at the restaurant?
I don't know the details,
I don't know. I don't know
the details, I just know the details.
I don't know the details, I just
know what was sent to us through
the through the to the outlets.
That was it. That's why we came here.
OK, tell me about your son.
Personality with type of personality.
He was an awesome kid.
Had a big heart.
Had a heart of gold.
He always tried to help everybody.
Anybody who know him.
He always tried to help help help
people you know just so unfortunate
that he's not here according to
what they tell him and his mother.
I just know when I went outside to
tell the ambulance and tell the police
when they got there about about 2 hours
later I told them or y'all here for the call.
They said what call you were
you talking about?
The 1019 call 1013 call?
It's like yes, we're here.
I said.
Well, it's too late now and he's gone.
And you attempted.
I attempted,
I attempted to help my son and you
try and let him know
when, when you say you were
attempted, what are you exactly trying
to tell them to tell the police what
was going on when they got in their car
and they left they left? That was it.
So and we still haven't seen our son.
Oh yeah, we haven't seen him.
Haven't seen him at all.
His body still laying out
there and we ain't seen them.
Oh
no people walking down the sidewalk.
All this officer can tell us
is that we can't go through.
