Michael Brown Sr. 'demands' new investigation into son's death in Ferguson

CLAYTON, Mo. (KMOX) - Michael Brown Sr. called a news conference to announce he will "demand" St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell to reopen the case of the fatal shooting of his son by a police officer five years ago. 

"I am here today in front of you all and the world to demand someone look at the case," Brown says. 

Friday is the five-year anniversary of when his son was shot "in cold blood with no remorse," and Brown says the ensuing investigation was followed with lies from everyone from then Ferguson police chief to then County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch. 

He says he has talked to Bell about reopening the case and was told his people will look at the evidence and the case to see if it can be reopened. 

Brown says what he wants Bell to do is speed up the process.
