Leaders are demanding answers in Smith’s death, which occurred while he was being transported by SPD after being violated in a voluntary parole check in.

“The Smith family was largely kept in the dark regarding the details of Brandon’s death while being detained and transported until June 13 when they were finally able to view the video of his arrest and transport.
