A FIVE-person jury was empanelled yesterday to examine the police-involved killing of 18-year-old Kwondrick Lowe on Kemp Road in 2023.

Acting Coroner Kara Turnquest-Deveaux presided as the jury was selected to hear testimony in what will be the fourth police-involved killing inquest this year.

Angelo Whitfield will marshal the evidence when testimony begins today.

Jurors recently returned a justifiable homicide finding concerning the fatal shooting of Tony Jamal “Foolish” Penn Smith, Valentino “T-Boy” Pratt, and Trevor “Coopz” Cooper, Jr, on Commonwealth Avenue on May 17, 2019.

The other two inquests resulted in a finding of homicide by manslaughter against officers.
