A coalition of groups calling for more transparency from Pittsfield police said the department's investigation of the shooting of Miguel Estrella is not an independent look at what happened.

Miguel Estrella was shot and killed by a police officer in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on March 25, 2022.

The report did not include interviews with anyone outside of the police who witnessed the shooting. Nor did it include a transcript of the 911 calls for help. "It attempts to make the argument that Miguel's death was not only unavoidable in this circumstance, but that it was somehow correct," Bossong said."And what we are saying is that there are a range of policies, investments, protocols and choices that the city could be making that would have made Miguel's death preventable.""He needed support.

The two police officers who responded to the call to help Estrella were place on administrative leave after the shooting. Now they are on"limited duty," officials said.
