An IMPD officer fatally shot 49-year-old Gary Harrell after a foot pursuit on Thursday. The Black Church Coalition is calling for IMPD to release unedited body cam footage.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Black Church Coalition is calling for IMPD to be transparent and accountable in their investigation into the fatal shooting of a man on the city's northeast side.
In a statement to local media, the BCC noted that"IMPD continues to follow an egregious pattern of being selective about releasing details in a series of officer-involved shootings." Thursday's shooting occurred in the same neighborhood of another recent IMPD officer-involved shooting.The BCC is calling for IMPD to release unedited body cam footage of Thursday's incident. They say body cam footage of the Maclin shooting was edited and released more than a month after the incident.
Additionally, in 2019, IMPD began issuing body-worn cameras to officers. Body-worn cameras are designed to increase transparency, ensure accountability, and enhance public trust. This has been demonstrated through the release of body-worn camera footage even when it does not represent IMPD officers in a positive way.

One natural place to look is at the heart of the Milky Way, near our galaxy's supermassive black hole. Researchers have examined the region around the galactic core and the movement of stars whipping around the central black hole.
