Recent developments in a police-involved shooting that resulted in the death of a Dundalk man have emerged as body camera footage has been released by the Maryland Office of the Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division (IID). The video, obtained from the tragic incident on May 18, depicts the lethal moments that transpired on North Boundary Road.
According to FOX Baltimore, two Baltimore County police officers were dispatched around 7:30 p.m. last month in response to a 911 call indicating a mental health crisis. The officers confronted 43-year-old Glenn Pettie, Jr. in an alley behind a residence, leading to an exchange of gunfire after Pettie opened fire on one of the officers. No officers were injured, but Pettie was fatally wounded in the incident. A loaded handgun was found near his body, and despite the medical aid provided by the officers and EMS, Pettie succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital.
The disturbing footage released shows Officer Michael Brady pleading with Pettie to abandon his weapon before shots were fired, as detailed by the footage and reported by WBALTV. The video captures a chaotic scene, piecing together a timeline of when officers arrived, the verbal confrontation, and the ensuing gunfire that led to Pettie's death.
While the IID's investigation into the circumstances of the shooting is still ongoing, state investigators are seeking assistance from any individual who can provide additional insights into the incident. To gather more information, authorities have urged the public to come forward, directing them to contact the IID at (410) 576-7070 or by email at [email protected].
