Nationally renowned attorney Bobby DiCello: 'Cries for help were ignored' in
Canton, Ohio
CANTON,
Ohio, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DiCello
Levitt has been retained by the family of Frank E. Tyson, a
53-year-old Black East Canton,
Ohio resident, after being handcuffed and suffocating in
police custody.
Echoing the terror of George
Floyd's death, some of Mr. Tyson's last words were "I can't
breathe," as police body-cam video shows. In the
footage documenting the horrific encounter on
April 18, Mr. Tyson can be seen lying
motionless on the floor of a social club for more than five minutes
before police officers checked him for a pulse.
"The death of George Floyd
traumatized and galvanized the American people – it led to a
decisive call for change and an end to systemic police violence
against Black men. It's an unimaginable tragedy, that only four
years later history repeats itself. Why tackle him? Why kneel on
him? How could you know he lost consciousness and then do
nothing? These questions demand answers. And so, we will get those
answers for Frank and the whole Tyson family in this time of pain,
grief, and disbelief," Bobby
DiCello, attorney for the Tyson family said.
Frank Tyson's family is
represented by DiCello Levitt attorneys Bobby DiCello, Ken Abbarno, Joe Fouche III,
and Jordyn Parks.
Bobby DiCello is available for
comment.
