The Washington State Office of Independent Investigations is investigating the incident
On May 7, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) was involved in a deadly use-of-force incident. One deputy was placed on Critical Incident Leave. The Washington State Office of Independent Investigations (OII) is investigating the incident.
Following a deadly use-of-force incident, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) will release body-worn camera (BWC) video at the Sheriff’s discretion. The release of these videos will be separate from the OII’s investigation.
In compliance with WAC 139-12, Clark County Sheriff’s Office personnel will not be involved in the independent investigation. CCSO will conduct its administrative investigation/review after the OII investigation is completed.
The Critical Incident Video can be viewed on the CCSO Body-Worn Camera Page.
The Sheriff’s Office cannot comment on the video release or the ongoing investigation. The video’s release is meant to provide visual context of the incident, as CCSO understands it to have occurred, according to the BWC video.
Please be aware that the video contains graphic imagery, and viewer discretion is strongly advised.
