Newly-released surveillance video is raising new questions about a Baltimore police-involved shooting from three years ago.The victim's lawyer said what happens in the video and what police put in their report don't match.Baltimore attorney A. Dwight Pettit said video that he obtained for his client's lawsuit through a Freedom of Information Act request proves police lied about the facts of the case."The video totally negates everything that the officers stated and that they swore to," Pettit said.Pettit gave 11 News access to the surveillance video of what happened when police stopped his client, Shaun Mouzon, on Jan. 28, 2013, in southwest Baltimore.Pettit is suing five Baltimore City police officers, former Commissioners Anthony Batts and Fred Bealefeld, and the mayor and City Council for violating Mouzon's rights, illegal seizure, assault and battery."You have not only the horror of the shooting and attempted murder, but then you have the horror of a fabrication of police reports to cover themselves," Pettit said.Officer Fabien Laronde wrote the report. He has been the subject of numerous 11 News I-Team investigations and misconduct complaints filed by residents. The city has settled some lawsuits against Laronde for more than $175,000.This month, 20 defense attorneys asked the Police Department for Laronde's Internal Affairs records, questioning his credibility."They knew at least one of these officers had a history as a bad actor and nothing was ever done against him," Pettit said.Laronde's report said he observed what he believed to be the handle of a handgun in Mouzon's waistband. Mouzon noticed the police presence and got into his car. The video shows Mouzon turn onto Edmonson Avenue and get stopped in traffic.Laronde's report said "Mr. Mouzon let off the brakes and began to accelerate towards the officers in front of the vehicle. At this time, a police-involved shooting occurred.""His car is stationary, blocked in traffic, it's not moving. The officers walk up into the rear and to the side, and then you see the muzzle flashes, you see the officers open fire," Pettit said.The officers shot Mouzon 14 times in the head, chest and groin, according to his attorneys. The video shows him trying to navigate his vehicle away afterward before crashing. The police report said he fled the scene.Mouzon was charged with several traffic violations and possession of a handgun. Pettit said his client was searched and no weapon was found on him or in his car. Eventually, the charges were dropped.Pettit has filed the case in federal court.
