This was posted to social media by friends and family:
Family Seeks Justice for Beloved Son Killed in Police Shooting - Preston Graham, a 28-year-old loving father and loyal friend, was tragically killed in a police shooting at his Four Winds apartment complex on Monday night. His family is now seeking answers and justice, alleging inconsistencies by the police department.
According to his mother, Preston was a private person who avoided social media and was protective of his privacy. He had been living in Four Winds apartment complex for two months and was known to be a quiet and respectful neighbor.
However, Preston's ex-girlfriend had a history of harassment and had previously kicked down his door with a friend, prompting Preston to call the police, according to his mother Yvonne Brown. Despite this, no action was taken.
On the night of the shooting, Preston's ex-girlfriend allegedly texted him repeatedly, but he didn't respond as he was with his new girlfriend. Yvonne Brown says someone called the police, claiming he was breaking into his home and was "armed and dangerous". Another narrative Yvonne states she received was that a neighbor called police for a noise disturbance.
Preston's mother claims that the police department has been uncooperative about the events leading up to the shooting. She has been unable to obtain video footage from the scene and alleges that the police are trying to cover up any wrongdoing and even wiped Preston's video off his own security camera.
The family is calling for transparency and accountability, seeking answers about what really happened on that fateful July 22nd night. They want to ensure that Preston's legacy as a loving father and friend is not tarnished by false accusations.
