Police Homeless Death
Cathy Thomas and Ron Thomas, parents of Kelly Thomas, stand next to a memorial for their son on Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2011, in Fullerton, Calif. Officers on July 5 confronted Thomas, who suffered from schizophrenia, while investigating reports of a man burglarizing cars near the Fullerton Transportation Center. Police have said Thomas ran away as officers tried to search his backpack, triggering the altercation. Thomas suffered severe head and neck injuries and was taken off life support on July 10.
