LA County Sheriff's Department requests security hold on Dijon Kizzee autopsy

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has requested a security hold on Dijon Kizzee's autopsy as protesters continue to hold demonstrations calling for justice in the deadly deputy-involved shooting.

The security hold usually means the report won't be released until after law enforcement ends its investigation. Additional information was not immediately released.
