The family of an Alabama teen fatally shot by a Homewood police officer claims body camera footage shown to them by the Jefferson County district attorney was a “small clip of an edited ALEA video.”

They are demanding to be shown the unedited footage .

“We wanted transparency first and foremost,” said national civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is among a team of lawyers representing the family of 18-year-old Jabari Peoples .

“We still don’t believe we have arrived at transparency,” Crump said in a Wednesday press conference outside the county courthouse.

“We believe there is much unedited video that the family and the community has a right to view.”

Peoples was fatally shot June 23 by a Black, uniformed officer who was investigating suspicious activity in Homewood Soccer Park
