The family of slain Ferguson, Missouri teenager Michael Brown is saddened by the looting and violence that has taken place since he was killed by a police officer on Saturday, April 9.

They have issued a statement via Fox 2 Now.

“I just want everyone to know and understand that the stealing and breaking in stores is not what Mike will want, it is very upsetting to me and my family. Our family didn’t ask for this but for Justice and Peace…. Please let my family grieve in Peace in stop the violence in the street tonight, we don’t want this happening when we protest for justice for my cousin Mike Brown, please get this message out to the people that the Mike Brown family do not want this.”

The 18-year old was unarmed with his arms raised when he was shot multiple times by an unidentified officer, who has since been placed on paid administrative leave.

Quik Trip
Family Dollar
