Judge grants request from North Carolina police chief to release body camera video recorded in the aftermath of the shooting death of a Black man by an off-duty sheriff’s deputy.
A judge on Thursday granted a request from the police chief of a North Carolina city to release body camera video recorded in the aftermath of theFayetteville Police Chief Gina Hawkins filed the petition with the courts on Tuesday. She wanted to publicly release footage that she says will show exchanges between Fayetteville police officers and three witnesses at the scene of last Saturday’s fatal shooting of Jason Walker by off-duty Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office Lt.
Under a North Carolina law passed in 2016, body and dash camera footage is not public record. Anyone can ask a court to order its release, however. In the 911 call, which was released by the Fayetteville Police Department and heard by NBC News, Hash says: “A male jumped on my vehicle and broke my windshield. I just shot him."
Ben Crump, the civil rights attorney who represented the family of George Floyd and has been retained by the Walker family, told a rally at a Fayetteville church that Walker was the single father of a 14-year-old son.
