The Florida Department of Law Enforcement concluded its investigation Thursday into the recent shooting of an international graduate student by University Police Department officers.
A copy of the report has been given to UPD and the State Attorney’s Office for consideration by those agencies, but its contents remain off-limits to the public, said State Attorney Bill Cervone.
Although Cervone could not share the details of the report, the information within will help him determine whether to press charges against student Kofi Adu-Brempong and whether police used unnecessary force.
Adu-Brempong faces charges for aggravated assault and resisting arrest with violence.
Adu-Brempong was shot by police in his on-campus apartment on March 2 after he allegedly resisted arrest with violence.
Some students have expressed concern about the validity of the officers’ actions that night, demonstrating on campus and demanding that all charges against Adu-Brempong be dropped.
