What HPD Put Online
In a post on X, Houston Police wrote that “HPD is releasing body worn camera footage of a death in custody at 2700 delafield on april 1” and linked to a short summary clip as well as the full set of body-worn camera recordings. The post also came with an attached transcript and a reminder that the account is not monitored 24/7.
HPD’s Push To Show Footage Faster
Local outlets have been tracking HPD’s recent habit of publishing raw bodycam footage after serious incidents. Earlier this month, FOX 26 covered a similar release after a deadly officer-involved shooting. These posts are part of a broader effort to make footage available more quickly after shootings and in-custody deaths.
