LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — At the end of the Little Rock Chief Forum, Mayor Scott announced 30-year-old Bradley Blackshire's family will have the opportunity to view the dash cam video on Thursday morning, March 7.

"We are all very aware of what happened 12 days ago in our city," Mayor scott said. "We all understand it is a trying time not only for the Blackshire family but for the family of Officer Stark. Anytime there is a loss of life, anyone who is a part of that process, it hits home to all. It hits home to our entire city during this period of time. We understand that our city is hurting. We understand our city wants to know as much as possible, and what we've been trying to share is our efforts to be accountable and be transparent to make sure everyone understands the process."

Mayor Scott said there are two investigations happening right now, criminal and administrative. He commends the the Little Rock Police Department for working fast on their part so they can get the files to the prosecutor. 

The video will be released to the public on Thursday after the family watches it.
