Memphis lawyer Ben Crump yesterday called for the Shelby County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) to release video footage of the shooting of 21-year old Jarveon Hudspeth, who was killed during a traffic stop in Memphis on June 24, reports the Commercial Appeal. Crump is representing Hudspeth’s family. "Don't play games with this family," said Crump. "Release the video.” Hudspeth was shot by a SCSO officer during a traffic stop. The sheriff's office says that the officer was injured after being dragged over 100 feet during the incident. Hudspeth's mother, Charlotte Haggett, said she has received no information from the SCSO office other than a phone call that Hudspeth was in an accident and “didn’t make it.” The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said the investigation remains active.
