Family Seeks Answers After Shooting | Wilmington News
Description
The family of Edilberto Espinoza Sierra, fatally shot in a Wilmington police encounter, is set to meet with the District Attorney to review body camera footage and push for transparency — even though prosecutors have already cleared the officers, citing lawful use of deadly force under North Carolina’s “imminent danger” standard. The family, including his sister Genesis who believes a bullet struck his head, shared harrowing photos of his bullet-riddled Dodge Charger and the chaos of the chase. Despite officers being placed on paid leave during the investigation, the DA’s office concluded their actions were justified — but the family remains determined to see the footage firsthand and demand accountability.
