Fieger: Aiyana Shot From Porch not Home

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) - Attorney Geoffrey Fieger says an independent autopsy shows 7-year-old Aiyana Jones was shot through the top of her head during a police raid on her home.

Fieger says Macomb County Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz has determined that the single gunshot exited through Aiyana Stanley-Jones' neck, grazing her chest. Fieger said the shot was fired from the porch and through the open doorway.

Police said the girl was shot in the neck when an officer struggled with, or was jostled by, her grandmother inside the home.

"When officers entered the house, she was already shot," said Fieger, who was joined in Tuesday's press conference by Aiyana's parents and grandmother. "It's also clear there is no time for a scuffle."

Fieger hired Spitz, medical examiner for nearby Macomb County, to perform the independent autopsy. The Wayne County medical examiner's office listed a gunshot wound to the neck as causing Aiyana's death.

Fieger said the report disputes claims by Detroit Police that the girl was shot through the neck as an officer struggled, or was jostled by, her grandmother inside the first-floor flat.

He claims police are engaged in a "cover up."

"He shot purposely," Fieger said. "I'm not suggesting he knew what he was shooting at. What he was aiming at, I can't tell you."

"The entire incident has been a cover up. The rest of the truth will come out."

The focus of the raid was 34-year-old Chauncey Owens, Aiyana's aunt's fiancee who was wanted in the May 14 shooting death of a 17-year-old outside a nearby convenience store.

Members of the department's Special Response Team tossed a flash-bang grenade into the downstairs' window of the house. Groups of officers entered the door leading into the downstairs unit and another going upstairs into a separate unit.

Owens was found upstairs. He is being held without bond on a charge of first-degree murder in the slaying of Je'rean Blake.

Fox 2 left messages with police on Tuesday seeking comment. The department had been advised by city lawyers not to discuss the case after Fieger filed civil suits seeking monetary damages.

Michigan State Police are investigating.

Meanwhile, Fieger is in the process of  securing a video tape shot the night of the shooting.
