In memory of Jp Quintero
Donation protected
On January 3, 2014, my beloved cousin John “Jp” Paul tragically lost his life after being executed in cold blood by the Wichita Police Department, in Wichita, Kansas.
On the night in question, my uncle summoned the police to my cousin's residence to help resolve an unrelated family dispute. Upon the police’s arrival, both John and my uncle were asked to exit their SUV to be placed in handcuffs. Within five minutes JP, who was intoxicated and incapable to fully comply with police commands, would be pulled out of the SUV, tased and then fatally shot with a service rifle. He would later succumb to his injuries.
The officer who shot John would later claim to see him reach for his waistband, despite my uncle repeatedly telling her that John was unarmed and intoxicated. Why that officer chose to use lethal force is a question still left unanswered.
We have established this fund to assist our family in covering the cost of John’s funeral and burial expense. The family plans to transport John's remains to San Antonio, Texas to be laid to rest with our family’s ancestors. Remaining funds will be used by John’s parents to cover living expenses while they are unable to work, as they seek justice for their slain son.
We thank you in advance for standing with our family during our time of grief
