More than two years have passed since NYPD Officer Richard Haste chased unarmed Ramarley Graham into his grandmother's home in the Bronx and shot him dead in the bathroom. After a grand jury declined to reindict Haste in 2013 (a first indictment was thrown out by a judge due to a technicality), more than a year has passed since the U.S. Attorney's office promised to investigate the shooting.

The family has not heard a word from anyone about developments in the federal investigation of Graham's shooting.

A large crowd of supporters joined Graham's family at Foley Square in lower Manhattan earlier this month to protest the lack of information from the U.S. Attorney's office regarding its investigation.

"As a parent standing here talking to you, it's very frustratiing not knowing what happened to my child," Constance Malcolm, Ramarley Graham's mother, told AlterNet. "So this is the reason why we're here to deliver these petitions to the DOJ to let them know we are still watching them and we want answers to what happened to Ramarley."
