Activists demand release of bodycam footage after police shooting near fireworks in downtown Detroit

Activists in Detroit demanded the release of body camera footage from a police shooting involving 18-year-old Alonzo Lee-Perkins during the Ford Fireworks. Police claim Lee-Perkins was armed and fled, prompting an officer to shoot him. A temporary restraining order, linked to a lawsuit over a city ordinance requiring timely release of use-of-force footage, currently blocks the Detroit Police Department from disclosing the video.
