West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, October 5, 2026 — Boca Raton police have released records, including video footage and 911 call audio, related to a fatal officer-involved shooting that took place in December 2024. The release of these materials comes after the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office concluded its investigation, ruling the shooting to be justified.
The incident, which resulted in a fatality, occurred in December of last year. Following the event, the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office conducted a review of the circumstances. Their findings, released recently, determined that the actions of the involved officer were justified. This official determination precedes the completion of the police department’s internal administrative review.
As part of the ongoing internal process, the Boca Raton Police Department is examining various aspects of the incident. A key focus of this administrative review is an investigation into why the body camera worn by the officer involved in the shooting was not activated at the time of the incident. The department has stated that this administrative review is still in progress.
The release of the video and 911 calls provides further transparency into the events that transpired. The department’s commitment to its internal review underscores a procedural step to assess departmental protocols and officer conduct in critical incidents. Further details regarding the internal administrative review are expected as the investigation concludes.
