Silver Spring, Md. • Officials have released body camera video of a deadly encounter between police and a black teenager who died after struggling with officers in a town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, footage that fueled a civil rights group’s call for an independent investigation.
Greensboro Police Chief Mike Petyo released the footage after a county prosecutor announced Thursday that he isn't asking a grand jury to consider criminal charges in the September 2018 death of 19-year-old Anton Black.
The video shows Black's mother screaming after police chased her son to his family's home, where an officer smashed a car window and shocked Black with a stun gun before the teen struggled with three officers and a civilian.
