Colorado Community Media: More than a month has passed since Colorado Community Media requested release of body camera footage from Englewood police officers involved in a July 24 shooting that left one unarmed man dead.
Matthew Neal Mitchell, 22, was shot and killed as police engaged in a shootout with his brother — 29-year-old Phillip L. Blankenship — who was arrested at the scene and charged July 29 with attempted first-degree murder.
In an Aug. 5 ruling, Arapahoe County Court Judge Kelly Ann Lafave sided with Blankenship’s defense team, which requested the footage not be publicly released.
