From [HERE] The family of a man killed in an officer involved shooting is speaking out about his autopsy report.

Michael Lembhard was shot and killed by police on March 7th after they say he lunged at officers with a knife inside a home on Liberty Street. Two of the four responding officers opened fire.

A spokesman for Lembhard's family, Omari Shakur, says they received a copy of the autopsy on Wednesday. They say it shows he was shot 15 times, eight of those in the back.

The death of Lembhard ignited massive protests in the days after the shooting, and relatives and supporters have continued to speak out against what they believe will be a biased investigation. And the anger only intensified when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo denied requests for a special prosecutor to investigate the shooting of Michael Lembhard. [MORE]  Shakur said the family planned to conduct a news conference at 6 p.m. on Monday evening to release more details of the report.

 Lembhard's family says the autopsy results show an independent investigation is necessary.

"What they say doesn't go with the autopsy report. Fifteen shots. They shot this man 15 times. You remember the original police report said eight or nine times, so they didn't do a proper investigation," Shakur said.

Police have not confirmed or commented on the report.

Shakur says the family is now having a private medical examiner review the autopsy. They are planning to hold a press conference Monday evening in front of Newburgh City Hall.
