I don’t have live access to the latest updates right now, but here are the most recent developments I can summarize based on widely reported sources:
-
The Hollis family has been seeking transparency and access to investigative materials after Desaver Hollis was fatally shot by Richfield police on April 29, 2026. A planned meeting with investigators was canceled recently, intensifying calls for autopsy results, body camera footage, and the investigative timeline to be shared with the family [source coverage from May 3, 2026, and ongoing local reporting].[1][4]
-
Richfield Police released bodycam footage from the incident in early May 2026, showing the moments leading up to the shooting and the aftermath, including an officer being wounded in the hand. The footage has been central to public discussion and the Hollis family’s litigation and press engagement surrounding the investigation.[2][3][5]
-
The family has retained national civil rights counsel and has publicly questioned how information is being presented by authorities, emphasizing the need for timely access to video, 911 audio, autopsy results, and the bodycam/squad footage as part of a fuller, independent review.[4][6][2]
-
Media coverage from local outlets (Fox 9, CBS News affiliates, Patch) has highlighted the family’s push for transparency and accountability, including press conferences and statements from legal representatives demanding clearer disclosure and independent analysis of the fatal encounter.[5][6][7][2]
If you’d like, I can:
- Pull the latest local articles or official releases and summarize them with timestamps.
- Create a brief timeline of events and key disclosures (with citations).
- Share a concise overview for a dashboard or briefing deck, including suggested questions for public officials.
Would you like me to assemble a current, cited timeline or generate a briefing note based on the most recent publicly available reports?
