A Des Moines Police spokesperson said state law “prohibits release of law enforcement information concerning juveniles prior to the filing of a complaint or petition regardless of whether a taking into custody takes place, or a citation is issued.”
Des Moines Police spokesperson Sgt. Paul Parizek said they were told the records are confidential under state lawbecause the video contains images of a minor committing a"delinquent act." Even though the juvenile will not be prosecuted, the law still applies, he said.
The Des Moines Register, part of the USA TODAY Network, which had requested the unedited video and audio, intends to pursue its legal options to obtain them.The report concluded the Des Moines officers had acted legally and are not liable for any criminal charges in relation to the shooting. It said that all four officers had their body cameras switched on and there appeared to be no missing video.
The officers went inside and were joined by Duitscher and a fourth officer, Nicholas Howard, who entered by breaking through a rear glass door, and negotiated with the boy for 4 minutes, 20 seconds to drop the weapon. They and family members asked him more than 70 times to put down the gun and surrender peacefully, but he did not comply, the report said.
The report said the boy told the officers he would keep the gun and raised it above his waist three times during the confrontation. It said the officers would have been justified in firing during any of those movements.
