BALTIMORE, MD  – The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General today announced the delay in the release of the bodyworn camera footage of the police-involved shooting​ that occurred Sunday, April 20, 2025, in Oxon Hill, Prince George’s County, Maryland. 

The delay in the release of the footage is the result of additional time needed to allow for the involved parties to view the video before it is released to the public. 

Per the IID protocols, “The IID will generally release body-worn and/or dashboard camera footage within 20 business days after the incident. There may be situations where more than 20 business days are necessary, including, but not limited to: investigators needing more time to complete witness interviews; technical delays caused by the need to redact information that raises privacy or safety concerns; or allowing family members or subject officers to view the video before it is released to the public. There may also be situations where the IID releases video sooner than 20 days where there is a substantial public interest in doing so. If the release of video is delayed, the IID will notify the public there’s been a delay and state the reason for the delay.”
