Members of the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) shot and killed 19-year-old Christian Hall during a mental health emergency while he was standing with his hands up in the universal stance of surrender.
Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump and Stowell & Friedman, Ltd. announced today that they have filed a lawsuit on behalf of April Curley and other former and current Black employees at Google, citing a pattern and practice of racial discrimination.

"This building was home to a very close-knit community in pursuit of the American dream when their world was devastated by this preventable tragedy. We are determined to get them the justice they deserve,” said Crump.

"But because of the video, and the public cries for accountability, Ahmaud’s killers have finally been held to account – first by the jury and in today’s sentencing."

“This encounter was a pre-textual, unnecessary stop of a young Black man for nothing more than a minor traffic infraction. Daunte Wright should not have been stopped or shot."

"As jury selection begins in the trial of former Brooklyn Center officer Kim Potter for the senseless and preventable death of Daunte Wright, we stress the utterly needless loss of his life."
“Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. After nearly two years of pain, suffering, and wondering if Ahmaud’s killers would be held to account, the Arbery family finally has some justice."
“It is a horrible truth that our legal team had to push relentlessly for nearly a year to obtain the unredacted video of Christian Hall’s killing. When we have to push so hard, it begs the question: ‘What is there to hide?’"
