More than 100 people held a protest outside the Bridgeport Police Department Tuesday, one day after a police-involved shooting left a Bridgeport man dead. "We want answers, and we want justice," the crowd chanted. Dyshan Best, 38, was a CDL truck driver who had just returned from a trip to Arkansas to attend the funeral of a childhood friend when he was shot to death Monday night, Best's family told News 12 Tuesday. "He was a loving, caring and devoted father who did not deserve to be shot dead in the street. He was running away from the officers, not towards them," said Tatiana Barrett, Best's niece. The shooting took place in a driveway in the 1400-block of Kossuth Street, just before 6 p.m. Monday, police said in a statement. Officers had responded to reports of a fight on East Main Street - "possibly involving people in possession of firearms" - and they chased Best on foot after seeing him "bail out" of "a suspect vehicle," according to the statement. "We want answers. We are not going to forget this. We are not going to stop. We need justice for Dyshan," Barrett said. The Office of the Connecticut Inspector General - whose mission is investigating police officers - has taken over the probe. The officer who fired the deadly shots has been placed on modified duty pending the outcome of the investigation, police said. The officer's name has not been released.

Attorney Darnell D. Crossland released the following statement: "We are demanding justice for this tragic and unnecessary loss of life." "This family deserves to know why their loved one was shot down in the streets of Bridgeport. We will not rest until we get the truth." "This is not just about one family's pain — this is about a pattern of policing that must end. We will use every legal tool at our disposal to ensure that this death is not swept under the rug."
