Family seeks answers after prison shooting death

An Illinois inmate, Dwayne “DJ” Tottleben, 33, was fatally shot Oct. 10 at U.S. Penitentiary Coleman I in Florida, a rare occurrence where staff typically don’t carry firearms. His family says the Bureau of Prisons has given no explanation; the local medical examiner confirmed the shooting. Loved ones had spoken to him that morning and say nothing seemed wrong. The prison suspended visitation and placed the facility on enhanced modified operations. Tottleben’s family has launched a GoFundMe, and their attorney plans an independent exam while pressing for full disclosure.
