Dwight Stiggons was 18 and from West Covina, California, when he was shot and killed on April 26, 1997. The officer later said Stiggons made a sudden movement, pulling his hand out of his pants, and the officer believed he was reaching for a weapon; the officer then shot Stiggons.

It was later revealed that Stiggons was unarmed and had only a Bible on his person. The shooting prompted controversy and public outcry locally and among civil rights activists, with the incident cited as an example of excessive force and racial profiling.

Did anyone in West Covina who remembers April 26, 1997, see anything that could shed light on what happened that day?
