(CLEVELAND) – Attorney General Mike DeWine is asking for the public’s help with any information regarding the November 29th Cleveland shooting incident involving 13 Cleveland police officers. Two people died.
The Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is leading the investigative team, which includes the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office and the East Cleveland Police Department.
18 BCI staff members, including 16 agents, are working the investigation. They are processing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing video camera footage, among other things. The investigative team’s mission is simple: to find all the facts.
“Our BCI experts will aggressively and fairly piece together the facts from the evidence,” said Attorney General Mike DeWine. “Some of those facts may come from witnesses who haven’t yet come forward to share what they know. I encourage anyone who thinks they might have some information that could help to call the Attorney General’s BCI.”
Attorney General DeWine pledges that this incident will be fully and fairly investigated. Findings will be reported to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor.
This incident included a lengthy police chase through many communities. Anyone with information is urged to call BCI at 855-BCI-OHIO (855-224-6446).
