The Boone County Sheriff’s Office has released video showing the moments leading up to a deadly shooting involving one of its deputies.
Samantha Ramsey, 19, of Covington, died after being shot four times by Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman early Saturday morning.
Ramsey was leaving a field party that Brockman was called to investigate. According to a statement from the sheriff’s department released shortly after the shooting, Ramsey did not stop her vehicle when asked and eventually Brockman ended up on the hood of the car and Ramsey accelerated prompting the deputy to shoot.
Some witnesses have discounted that account, arguing that Brockman jumped on the vehicle.
The video from Brockman’s cruiser does not show the entirety of the scene, only the seconds leading up to the fatal shots. Brockman is scene approaching Ramsey’s vehicle which is seen continuing its movement. Then all parties disappear from the frame and smoke from Ramsey’s vehicle, which stopped in a ditch, emerges.
