“We certainly empathize with the sentiments of Mr. Smyrna’s loved ones and appreciate their desire for more information. That is, in fact, what we have promised to provide. We have met with the Smyrna family and their civil attorney on several occasions and assured them that at the conclusion of our investigation, which is imminent, we will meet with them face-to-face and share all of the facts and evidence, including all video footage, associated with this matter. Those materials will be provided in conjunction with a comprehensive explanation of our charging decision, which is currently pending. In the interim, our primary focus remains on conducting an honest, impartial, and fair investigation without compromising the integrity of this case.”
