Shot Over 10 Times by Police: The CJay Pettit Story
Charles “CJay” Pettit Jr. was shot over 10 times by Officer James Hill
CJay was responsive in transport telling emergency responders “I’m not gonna run, I can’t breathe…” after they handcuffed him to the gurney.
Why…because “he fit the description” along with a friend of an alleged incident near the area.
The fear for his life because he didn’t want history repeated. You see CJay’s older brother Lincoln was shot by police over 18 times 2 months shy of a year from his very own tragedy in December 2014.
CJay was even wearing the shirt with his brother in this very night of horror striking twice to the family.
Instead of preparing to celebrate his 19th birthday, family prepared his homegoing services.
Officer Hill was cleared of any charges which led to the death of Charles “CJay” Pettit Jr.
Since his death the family has been scrutinized for wanting clear ABC facts.
They’ve been harassed by the very ones who took CJay and Lincoln from them for wanting answers and justice. The homicide as the death certificate read was put away as “justified”.
Yet, the family couldn’t even have an open casket service because CJay was so mutilated and disfigured by “justification”.
Unrecognizable because of those 10 plus shots his face and head took bullets.
Why…because he fit the description and was in the area.
The fight for simplicities in the case has become a strain mentally…physically…spiritually and financially on the Pettit family.
Please share and get CJay’s story heard.
Media is sharing the untruth and has painted the tragedy as Officer Hill “feared for his life”.
Yet, CJay was the one hiding behind a huge dumpster UNARMED because he knew…
- His brother Lincoln lost his life by the hands of the police 10 months before that.
- Because he’s an African-American male and he “fit the description”.
- The police knew his family because of them being harassed daily for not being quiet about the death of his brother Lincoln.
- He had on the shirt that bared his brothers face in memorial. (his torso/stomach destroyed by bullets)
- He was simply a scared kid.
Yet, with a bullet riddled body and clinging to life to tell his story…his last conscious moment was being handcuffed to a bed rail in an ambulance.
He managed and it is documented his last words to emergency responders…
“I’m not gonna run, I can’t breathe…” Help breathe life for Charles “CJay” Pettit Jr…share HIStory and Lincoln’s to get justice and stop this cycle.
Will you re-post/share, support the Pettit Family and sign the petition…?
I DEMAND JUSTICE FOR MY SON WHO WAS #MURDERED BY OKLAHOMA POLICE. NO #CRIME #COMMITTED ALLEGED CHARGES AS THEY ALWAYS SAY. MY SON WAS MUTILATED SHOT OVER 10 TIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN HEAD LOOSING HIS RIGHT EYE ALONG WITH HOLE IN STOMACH AND WOUNDS TO BACK!! 10-05-15 died 10-23-15 officer was cleared less then a week after shooting. All I have is media #LIES help me get #Justice4CJay PLEASE
I ask you to sign the petition, because we, the community, MUST protect each other. And if the tragedy has already occurred, we should try to demand justice. As long as they see that such crimes go unpunished, more cops think that black lives don’t matter. This family deserve to have a fair investigation. For this young man to be shot 10 times should be in question as to why.
