The family and attorneys of Isaiah Kirby, the 21-year-old Michigan State University student fatally shot by East Lansing Police last month, have released graphic photos of his body as they continue to question law enforcement’s actions during the incident.

Attorneys for the family said the decision to release the images followed the viewing of what they described as a “highly edited” cellphone video connected to the shooting. Police body camera footage from the incident is expected to be released Friday.

East Lansing Police have said Kirby stabbed another man before allegedly charging at officers while refusing commands to drop a knife. Officers then opened fire.

The shooting happened near Lake Lansing Road and Abbot Road. The investigation is being handled by the Michigan State Police.
