State Attorney Brian Haas announces the results of the Michael Dunn Investigation State Attorney's Office, 10th Judicial Circuit, State Attorney Brian Haas has issued a statement regarding the indictment of Michael Dunn in the October 3, 2018 shooting of Christobal Lopez. In addition, Chief Larry Giddens addressed the media this evening as follows: To address any concerns about how long the investigation took, please realize that the Lakeland Police Department submitted the complaint affidavit for this crime to the State Attorney’s Office just nine days after the shooting. In those few days, the scene was processed, all witnesses were interviewed, the victim’s family was interviewed, the defendant’s statement was obtained, multiple reports were written, the medical examiner’s office conducted their investigation, the surveillance video was downloaded and then compiled so that it could be viewed. We had partnered with the State Attorney’s Office to ensure that the investigation was done in a transparent, cooperative manner and to ensure that all relevant laws were properly considered. Even after the complaint affidavit was submitted, the investigation continued in the form of the State Attorney’s Office gathering and presenting evidence to a grand jury. The process was one which was handled with the utmost care, as all investigations must be. Although this investigation may have taken longer than some would have liked, we had an obligation to do it right, and that is what we will always do to ensure the citizens of this community can continue to have the faith and confidence in us that we have earned in these past several years.
