Shelby County District Attorney’s Office to Release Video in Officer-Involved Shooting Related to the Death of Jarveon Hudspeth

Shelby County, TN—Today, The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office will release video of the fatal officer-involved shooting involving Jarveon Hudspeth and a Shelby County Deputy on June 24. The expected time of release is 3:30 PM CST. The videos will be posted on the Shelby County District Attorney’s website. Mr. Hudspeth’s family has viewed the footage. 

The posted videos are from the deputy’s in-car camera, body-worn camera, and a neighbor’s ring camera. Viewer discretion is advised. 

The events in the video begin with both vehicles traveling on the road and end after the deputy is ejected from the vehicle. Ultimately, Mr. Hudspeth died as a result of the shooting. The deputy suffered critical injuries.

“For transparency, our office is incorporating a new practice where we try to release videos in a timely manner as long as it does not compromise the integrity of the investigation,” said Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy. “In the past, video has not been released until the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has completed its investigation. Our goal is to speed up that process by showing video as soon as possible when we are sure that it won’t compromise the investigation. The release of the Jarveon Hudspeth video is evidence of our Office’s new practice.”

Beyond the events shown in the video, the SCDAG’s Office cannot provide additional comment due to TBI’s ongoing investigation. Once the investigation by TBI is complete, our Justice Review Unit (JRU) will review the findings and make a recommendation to the District Attorney.
