Jay-Z & Rihanna demand justice
Jay-Z & Rihanna demand justice for Danroy Henry who was fatally shot by a police office in 2010.
When the 20-year-old Henry died over 2000 people attended his funeral. The musicians are part of celebrities who wrote a letter demanding that the case be relooked into so that Danroy can get justice.
The letter to Barr was sent by Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Pharrell Williams, Charlize Theron, Taraji P. Henson, Odell Beckham Jr., Michael K. Williams, Kerry Washington, Mary J. Blige and Gabrielle Union.
“As the Department knows, this agonizing case remains an unhealed wound for the Henry family and the people of New York,” the letter reads. “More concerning, even a cursory review of the fact pattern of what occurred distills more questions than answers. The DOJ must truthfully determine whether a pattern and/or practice of discrimination played a role in the case of DJ Henry — and if it did — deliver the justice that restores this young man’s name and reputation, while giving hope to other young black men who are just like him and desperate for change”
