Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Thursday that he had ordered police to allow the release soon of an autopsy report on a mentally ill man fatally shot by officers three months ago.
Garcetti made a surprise appearance Thursday at an LAPD news  conference, telling reporters the autopsy on 25-year-old Ezell Ford Jr. would be released by the end of the year. LAPD officials have placed a security hold on the results, preventing coroner's officials from making their report public.
Ford was killed Aug. 11 near West 65th Street and Broadway in Florence.
