Zekhi E. Lee was an average teen who does what any other teen does, goes out to support his cousins football games at UConn, spend time with his friends and family and just live life. He NEVER got arrested or in trouble in any kind of way with the law enforcements. He’s sweet, down to earth, funny, well being person.
Yet On November 22nd, 2017 he was over ruled getting hit with First Degree Manslaughter And Felony Evading about a situation that had happened on November 21st, 2017 an off duty officer was trying to flag down Zekhi E. Lee and notify him the car was affiliated with drugs (No the car didn’t belong to Zekhi) & the off duty officer was driver a normal silver car with tints on it WITHOUT it saying “Waterbury police” on it while 3 OTHER POLICE VEHICLES WITHOUT MARKINGS were approaching In the moment of everything, he got into a collision with another vehicle (the other vehicle driver wasn’t hurt) and they hit a utility pole which had fell onto the 3 year old boy (may he Rest In Peace) And onto 2/3 pedestrians who are injured. This all happened and I believe the police has FULL liability with the awful tragedy between Zekhi being arrested and the child who had died. PLEASE sign this petition so we can help Zekhi get home or his sentence reduced at least and have these officers take responsibility!

One hundred people have signed this now. It feels like a small win in a very long fight but I am exhausted and grateful that people are listening.

The exhaustion is setting in but I refuse to let Zekhi's case fade into the background. We are pushing toward two hundred and fifty signatures and I need you to send this link to your contacts right now because we cannot afford to lose momentum.

The exhaustion is setting in but we are closing in on a hundred signatures. We need to push through this wall so the people in charge cannot ignore us any longer.

It’s isnt all his fault if you think about it if you were in his shows & a car DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS A COP CAR shooting at you & your not knowing what to do would you stop ? He didn’t even know Thebes car was stolen for one & khi ISNT at all a bad kid at all !! He gets his education like he’s supposed too & he’s not like these kids trying to run the streets mannn #freekhi!!
Zekhi is a great kid who like many other young kids were at the wrong place at the wrong time... Its such a sad travesty what happened to the young child, but the undercover officer who failed to identify himself as such shld accept accountability and responsibility dor what happened as this whole situation wld have possibly played out differently...
No police officer should be engaging in a pursuit in an unmarked vehicle..nevermind 3..extremely dangerous and caused a tragic event that could of been avoided 8
Police need to take the responsibility of there actions if it wasn’t zehki car that made the pole fall down the need to step up and do the right thing . Instead of putting this young kid threw all this mess , when it wasn’t all his fault. Would you pull over if a unmarked car was chasing you . I know I wouldn’t either .
I have known Zheiki since he was about 8 years old. He is a great kid. He is like a second son to me. This is all a terrible accident which could have been avoided. 3:45 in the afternoon chasing him in a busy st.
Free him
There has been way to many situations like this,And the state get off sky free because they are the Law force-meant. They are not here to help,they are actually doing more harm.. Help this young man..

I’m sure the kid was scared when seeing unmarked cars especially with all this police brutality going on. The cops escalated the situation by chasing him down in a tight street.
