From [HERE] The Texas Civil Rights Project has filed a lawsuit against the City of Austin, claiming it violated state open records laws by not responding to a request for documents related to the fatal shooting of Ahmede Bradley by a police officer in April. According to the suit filed in state District Court in Travis County last week, the nonprofit civil rights group faxed a request to the city under the Texas Public Information Act on April 6, a day after Bradley was shot during what officials say was a struggle with an officer after a traffic stop in East Austin.

The incident began in the 6000 block of Manor Road when Copeland stopped Bradley for playing loud music from his vehicle, police officials have said. During the stop, Copeland smelled what he believed to be marijuana and moved to search the vehicle, officials said.

Bradley then drove off with Copeland in pursuit and later fled on foot near Overbrook Drive, officials said.

The two engaged in a series of struggles, officials said. During the second fight, Bradley tried to choke Copeland with his radio cord, police have said. Copeland then shot Bradley three times in the chest, killing him, officials said. Assistant Police Chief Sean Mannix said Tuesday that the case is under investigation and has not been presented to a grand jury.
