Please forward widely:
The parents of Oluwatofunmi Kaiyewu— the 23 year old medical student shot and killed on April 6, 2009, by police from the University of Illinois, the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office, and the Vermilion County Sheriff’s Office—will hold a press conference on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, at the Independent Media Center, 202 S. Broadway in Urbana, at 10:00 a.m.
His mother, Abiola Kaiyewu, and his father, Adenrele Kaiyewu, will be accompanied by their attorney, Jan Susler of the People’s Law Office of Chicago. They will also be joined and supported by the Champaign Urbana Citizens for Peace and Justice.
“Part of me died when they killed my son,” said Mrs. Kaiyewu, a registered nurse. At the funeral, held in Houston, Texas, near the family’s home, this past Saturday, dozens of Oluwatofunmi’s friends gathered in shock and grief. 
The family is coming to Illinois to collect their son’s belongings, to demonstrate their determination to expose the wrongful use of deadly force, and to demand justice for Toto, as he was affectionately known by his friends and family.
