What remains unconfirmed
A careful civil-rights review starts by refusing to fill gaps with assumptions. These points should remain open unless later reliable records or official findings confirm them.
03
Why the Moore-to-Norman geography matters
The corridor matters because evidence can sit in separate systems. Police video and dispatch may follow the Moore officers. Highway, intersection, business, residential, towing, and crash-scene records may follow the location where the pursuit traveled or ended.
That is why a preservation request should cover the full path: the 300 block of Northwest 27th Street in Moore, southbound I-35, the Flood Avenue exit, and Tecumseh Road in Norman.

Records to preserve before conclusions are drawn
Officer-involved shooting investigations are shaped by recordings, timestamps, radio traffic, crash evidence, and medical findings. Preservation should happen before routine deletion, overwriting, towing, vehicle inspection, repairs, or memory loss changes the record.
- Body-camera, dash-camera, microphone, and in-car video
- CAD logs, radio traffic, call notes, and pursuit supervisor communications
- TVI decision records, rollover evidence, crash-scene measurements, roadway marks, and vehicle damage
- Traffic, business, residential, and bystander video from I-35, Flood Avenue, and Tecumseh Road
- EMS, medical examiner, autopsy, toxicology, and forensic records when available

If your family or a witness has information
Preserve original files and notes. Keep the unedited video, photo, or message; save the timestamp and location; write down where you were; and avoid posting details that could alter witness memory or invite speculation.
