Police confirm that 45-year-old Danny Brumfield was shot and killed outside the convention center in the early morning darkness of September 3.
A police statement says Officer Ronald Mitchell fired his weapon after he and his partner thought they heard a gunshot, and a man swinging something shiny jumped onto the hood of their patrol car. The statement issued after The Associated Press asked about the shooting says the incident was considered attempted murder of a police officer.
Brumfield's daughter and niece dispute that account. They say the officer who shot Brumfield hit him twice with a squad car before firing. Afterward, the two say the patrol car ran over Brumfield, then left his body unattended for hours until other officers arrived.
A New Orleans police spokesman says the homicide section is investigating.
