More evidence coming out in Overland Park Police shooting of teen John Albers
Four months after the city of Overland Park released findings from the 2018 fatal police shooting of 17-year-old John Albers, additional evidence was discovered that had not been previously disclosed, according to a report from The Kansas City Star.
Sheila Albers, the mother of John Albers, said she obtained through a public records request a digital reconstruction of the shooting scene. She also challenged the integrity of the investigation and the decision to clear the officer who shot her son 13 times.
The video reconstruction provided to Sheila Albers is a digital map of the shooting scene collected by investigators. It shows in a one-minute clip the placement of houses, cars, evidence markers and crime scene tape.
