Calls For Independent Investigation of De’von Bailey Shooting Continue

Supporters of an independent investigation into the shooting death of De’von Bailey are again asking for help from the governor.

A letter was sent to Governor Polis over the weekend asking for an investigation as well as the establishment of a statewide civilian review panel. 

Bailey was shot by Colorado Springs Police officers in August while running away from them. 

Investigators have previously said that Bailey was reaching for a gun, though video of the shooting does not clearly show that. 

Polis has previously said he supported an independent investigation into the bailey shooting.
