The Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA) conducted an investigation, presenting findings to a grand jury in line with the Independent Prosecutor Directive of 2019. Evidence reviewed included surveillance and body-worn camera footage, radio transmissions, a crash report, photographs, and autopsy results.
