FILE - In this May 2, 2015 file photo, Earl Lewis, Jr. speaks during the funeral service for William Chapman II in Portsmouth, Va. Former Portsmouth police officer Steven Rankin was sentenced in October 2016 to 2½ years in prison for fatally shooting the unarmed 18-year-old while responding to a shoplifting call outside a Wal-Mart on April 22, 2015. Prosecutors allege Rankin killed Chapman "willfully, deliberately and with premeditation." Chapman's body was reportedly delivered to the medical examiner with handcuffs still bound behind his back. Some witnesses said Chapman was combative, and one said he knocked away Rankin's stun gun. Rankin, who is white, was fired. (L. Todd Spencer/The Virginian-Pilot via AP)
