OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Huntsville PD claimed they found Sterling Kenyon Arnold with a gun and shot and killed him. No more information was made available.
An eyewitness stated that they saw him with a backpack on his back walk past, that he had nothing in his hands and that shortly thereafter, police shot him. The eyewitness did not see him holding any weapon just prior to being killed.
Protesters have been gathering in downtown Huntsville to demand release of the bodycam footage to no avail. Huntsville PD has never released any bodycams unless ordered by a court in recent years.
The officer has returned to duty and this seems to be an open and shut case. The officer who was unnamed was cleared.
