Police Brutality: Moore, Oklahoma, police 'beat father to death" as family watches
- 9 years ago
Warren Theaters in Moore, Oklahoma, was the scene of a tragic incident on Friday night when father Luiz Rodriguez was allegedly beaten to death by five police officers in front of his family.
According to his still stunned family, they were leaving the theater around midnight on Friday when mother Nair Rodriguez and her daughter Lunahi got into an argument. Nair slapped Lunahi and stormed off.
Luiz ran after his wife when he was confronted by police officers who asked him for identification.
Fearing his wife was about to drive off, Rodriguez tried to push past the cops when, according to his family, "they took him down and things escalated."
Lunahi says that five cops then ruthlessly beat her father to death, describing repeated blows to his head, right in front of her. She says her mom recorded footage of some of the incident on her mobile phone.
The distressed daughter then told a local TV station how she watched her dying father's as he was being carried away for the last time.
She added that following the incident the police then confiscated her mother's cellphone and have not returned it.
The family said that they plan to hire an attorney.
Moore Police Department refused to comment, but has said that three officers have been put on paid administrative leave while an investigation into the 'in-custody' death is carried out.
