The sister of Jawan Dallas, who died after he was tased by a Mobile police officer in July, called on the city to be transparent and release the police-worn body camera footage.
“I also want transparency,” said Carolina Dallas of Chickasaw. “It’s the right thing to do.”
The shooting is under investigation by three agencies – internally by Mobile police, The Mobile County District Attorney’s Office, and the FBI. It’s unclear how long the investigation will last, and there was no indication that the video will be released publicly.Maria Dallas, left, holds a photo of her brother, Jawan Dallas, at a press conference as she stands beside her mother, Christine Dallas. Jawan died July 2 after being hit twice with a stun gun by Mobile police.
Dallas was then struck and tased multiple times, the claim from the family filed in July says. An attorney for the family says that Dallas fell to the ground after the first tasing, grabbed his chest and complained of chest pain. The officer then tased him again, the attorney says, “until he stopped moving.”
