By Patrick Herron

Published August 4, 2023 at 5:24PM

Per the Maryland State’s Attorney’s Office: “In order to carry out an appropriately thorough investigation and conduct untainted interviews, the Independent Investigations Division (IID) is delaying the release of the body-worn camera footage from the Montgomery County Police officer-involved shooting that occurred on July 22, 2023.

A key component of IID investigations is witness interviews. While typically the IID is able to interview relevant witnesses within 14 days so that the video may be released, that timeline cannot always be met. To ensure witness interviews are not compromised by their viewing of external evidence, the release of the body-worn camera footage will be delayed. Once the release of the video will not compromise the investigation, the IID will make public the body-worn camera footage on its video channel.
