Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy says his office plans to release footage "in the near future" from a police shooting that caused the death of 20-year-old Jaylin McKenzie, reports the Commercial Appeal. The announcement comes after the Justice Review Unit and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed this morning their investigation is complete. McKenzie was shot and killed on Dec. 16 by a Memphis Police Department officer following a traffic stop. The incident was one of five officer-involved shootings in the last five weeks of 2022. Last month, Mulroy announced a new policy to step up the public release of footage from fatal police shootings.
