Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is calling for the release of dash and body camera footage related to the death of Tyrone Mason, a 31-year-old Black man who died in a single-vehicle accident in North Carolina. Mason’s case has come under scrutiny after nearly 200 cases involving the state trooper who responded to the accident were dropped by the district attorney’s office. Trooper Garrett Macario and his supervisor, Sgt. Matthew Morrison, have been placed on leave pending further investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation. The district attorney has said that what she saw on the footage led to the decision to investigate further, but the footage has not been released to the public. Crump and the Mason family are demanding the release of the video to understand what prompted the dropped cases. Mason’s mother, Henrietta, is seeking justice for her son, questioning the circumstances surrounding his death. Both Macario and Morrison have been with the state patrol for several years. The district attorney emphasized the importance of trust and credibility among law enforcement officers in conducting investigations. Crump expressed concern over the contents of the video and is urging for its release to shed light on the events leading to Mason’s death.
