Titusville police release video of deadly officer-involved shooting

TITUSVILLE, Fla. — The Titusville Police Department released videos on Friday from a deadly officer-involved shooting from February.

Earlier this week, the department said the state attorney’s office determined the shooting that killed Trimarea Charles was “lawful and justified.”

A link to the video can be found here:

His mother, Samantha Charles, watched the video of the shooting on Thursday and was emotional during a news conference afterwards.

Investigators said Trimarea Charles started a violent confrontation with one officer, picked up a handgun he had dropped, then ran armed toward another officer and a neighboring home.

Samantha Charles says they shouldn’t have waited this long to see the video.
