Gay Plack was shot and killed by Henrico police officers in her Westend home last week and now the ACLU wants the police body-cam to be released to the public. Several community leaders and the media were able to view the footage of the officer-involved shooting, but the video will not be shared with the public. The ACLU released a statement, saying the footage should be released immediately, as well as the names of the officers involved. They are also calling for an independent investigation into the shooting.
