Indianapolis, IN, August 7, 2026 —
The family of Dalys Jett, a 21-year-old man who died on July 22nd in an incident involving the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), is formally requesting the release of all related police recordings.
Their demands include access to body-worn camera footage, police dispatch audio, in-car video recordings, and radio traffic pertinent to the incident. The family seeks to review these materials as part of their understanding of the events that led to Jett’s death.
IMPD has indicated their intention to provide the requested footage to the family. According to a statement from the department, releasing such materials is a requirement under state law. However, the department has temporarily deferred the viewing of the footage.
IMPD officials cited two primary reasons for the delay: the need to preserve the integrity of the ongoing investigation and a desire to show respect for the individuals involved in the incident. The department has not provided a specific timeline for when the footage will be made available to the family.
The circumstances surrounding the July 22nd shooting incident and the subsequent death of Dalys Jett remain under investigation.
