about quarter after five today. Five o'clock 5 15. We had an officer
involved shooting on the UtF parking lot here behind us. Um The suspect in
that involved shooting has recently deceased recently passed away at U. C.
Hospital. Um I don't have *** lot to tell you guys just yet because we have
no witnesses that were on the lot at the time. Um We have not interviewed
the officer yet and we are still trying to gather evidence such as body cam
footage and footage from some of the nearby businesses were in the process
of doing that right now. So I don't have *** lot for you. I know you've got
some questions. Um I will tell you the suspect was *** white male and the
officer is *** black female. Just so you know that. Um So
so because we have no witnesses and because we have not gotten ***
statement from the officer yet. It's still very very early in the
investigation. And because the suspect is deceased we are still trying to
gather facts that will tell us exactly what led up to the the shooting. So we
don't know if anybody else was involved. We do not know yet. It was outside
right? Yes it was outside, see right behind me there where the officer's car
is in that gray there's *** gray sedan behind the officer's car. That is ***
stolen vehicle. It's been reported stolen out of I believe Springfield
Township
we don't know for certain yet. He was with the vehicle. Do we know if you D.
F. Was involved at all or just happened? We do not know. We do not know yet.
The officer is not injured. The officer is not physically injured. Is the
community um Still you know safe now that you have the barrier over there.
Yes. At risk. You know the community here in this area. Sorry is not at risk.
They are completely safe. Um This looks like it was one of an officer and one
individual involved so far. That's what the facts are telling us. Um So the
community is completely safe. You know what type of weapon was involved? Like
*** gun. But what type of, No we do not know that yet. *** gun was recovered at
the scene. What was the initial call out here? We are still trying to
determine that body camera footage will tell us that there was some radio
communications about *** possible um O. V. I. In the area. And the description
this car matches the description of that. We're still trying to piece that
together though. So this officer wasn't pursuing this person at all. It just
happened that they happened to come together at some point. I'd be
speculating to answer that question.
I'm sorry
it was *** uniformed officer. So she had her body camera on that body
cameras now down at C. I. S. They're getting ready to download it and see
what it tells us.
We do not know that yet how many shots were fired. We do not know that for
certain yet. Yeah. Um The officer will be put on our administrative lead,
which is our standard policy. Um We want to definitely make sure for her
well being before she returns to work. Right. Thank you very much chief. I
want to say anything about the lawsuit, about the mistrial and the
I'm sorry folks I should have introduced Director Gabe Davis is here
from the Citizen's complaint authority. As you guys know. It's standard
practice when we have an officer involved shooting our homicide unit
does an investigation. The prosecutor's office and see see *** So mr. Davis is
here if he wants to make *** comment here.
Talk about this situation. Absolutely. Got the call *** little after five
probably 5 15 or so and responded immediately. We have investigators that
are working this along with our parallels, I should say to CPS
investigation. But we get to the bottom of it. Can't comment much about the
fact that we're learning them, but certainly we'll get to the bottom of
what occurred here and make *** determination as to whatever
recommendations will make to the city. And then we'll take it from there to
talk about your department. What is your apartment?
So, we investigate officer involved shootings any deaths in police custody
and any complaints of citizen complaints of police misconduct filed
by citizens. So that's what we do. You just say you spell your name for us.
Gabe Davis, G. ***. B. D. ***. V. i s All right,
But.
