Full audio from all A/V recording devices that captured all or part of the police shooting of Harith Augustus on July 14, 2018. Full video from all A/V recording devices that captured all or part of the same shooting. Full statements taken from all officers on scene at the shooting, including the shooter.

To the extent there was an internal investigation, and to the extent it has been closed, I request all documentation and communications from within said investigation. To the extent an investigation is still ongoing, I request dates and times of the last ten communications sent as a part of said investigation.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Brandon Smith and Troy LaRaviere

Hi, Jane.

When you say "the video, audio," and certain documents -- do you mean *all* video and audio of the incident?

Thanks for the clarification.

Brandon

From: Civilian Office of Police Accountability

The video and audio that shows the incident should be posted online, yes.

Feel free to call me if you would like further explanation of what video gets posted on the portal. Sometimes we receive video that does not show the incident, so that does not get posted.
