"Orlando Police Unveil Body Cam Footage of Fatal Encounter with Derek Diaz"
The Orlando Police Department has released the body-worn camera video of the police shooting that resulted in the death of Derek Diaz, 26. The family of Diaz has been calling for the release of the video since the shooting on July 3. The video shows Diaz sitting in his car when officers approached him, suspecting possible drug activity. Officer Jose Velez shot Diaz within a minute of their interaction, believing he was reaching for a gun. However, no gun was found at the scene. Diaz's family is demanding justice and a fair investigation, while legal experts question the reasonableness of the officer's conduct. The incident is under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), and if charged, it could be second-degree murder.
