A black man who was shot dead by police officers called to a domestic altercation at his Florida home was “executed” as he sat eating chicken wings in his backyard, relatives claimed on Monday. But Frazier’s relatives insist he had regained his composure by the time the two officers arrived and was sitting calmly in the backyard eating chicken and fries when they approached him. Earlier on Monday, Frazier’s family had released a statement through the law firm of civil rights attorneys Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump demanding answers. “When deputies arrived, someone in the house directed them to the backyard where they encountered the subject who produced a knife. Paramedics from Pompano Beach fire rescue pronounced Frazier dead at the scene.
