The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department released body camera footage of a deputy’s shooting of a teenager on Wednesday, nearly four months after the encounter, while the boy’s mother was not informed about its details.
The video release came just hours before The Marshall Project – Cleveland and News 5 Cleveland published its investigation into how the sheriff’s department does not release video from deputy shootings. This differs from Cleveland’s policy for footage of shootings by police officers, which are required to be released.
