WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal authorities have been investigating the death of a 23-year-old Wichita man who was shot by police.

The FBI said Wednesday it’s been investigating the January shooting death of John Paul Quintero “for several months now.”

Quintero was shot and killed January 3rd by a Wichita police officer.

 

Quintero’s family and representatives from Sunflower Community Action presented a nearly 3,000-page petition to the local FBI offices Wednesday, calling for a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. They were told at the scene that the bureau has been investigating the shooting.

The family is demanding $10 million in damages.

Bridget Patton, an FBI spokeswoman in Kansas City, said she had no timeline on the investigation.
