Police have also placed a security hold on Ford's autopsy to prevent coroner's officials from publicly releasing information about Ford’s wounds. Officials have also declined to provide information about why the officers approached Ford as he was walking home along West 65^th Street near Broadway.

Police say Ford, 25, tackled one of the officers and reached for his gun, prompting both officers to open fire. A witness who saw part of the incident told The Times she saw no struggle.
