Dijon Kizzee was ‘trying to find his way’ before being killed by L.A. deputies, relatives say
LA TimesJonetta Ewing, the partner of the late Dijon Kizzee, breaks down while addressing the crowd of activists gathered for a weekly Black Lives Matter protest outside the Hall of Justice on Wednesday. “It takes a really strong person to say, ‘I’m going to keep my eyes forward.’ That was all of our students, and that was certainly Dijon.” California Video shows sheriff’s deputies killing Dijon Kizzee. Kevin “Twin” Orange, a gang intervention worker, said he ran into Kizzee about three weeks ago in South L.A. while visiting the family of a man who recently died. Etta Clark, Kizzee’s grandmother who lives in Lancaster, said Kizzee called her “Granny” and would often check on her. Her son and Kizzee’s uncle, Aaron Clark, a hip-hop artist who goes by “Pro,” said that Kizzee would sometimes come to his home and they would sit in his studio talking about his music.
