LOWELL — Body camera footage of a Lowell officer shooting at a car as it tried to get away has been released.
The officer, Jason Diaz, is heading to trial for opening fire and injuring two people inside the car, including a teen. He has since resigned from the Lowell Police Department.
WOOD-TV 8 obtained the video through an open records request. The entire incident from last August lasted less than 15 minutes.
A copy of the investigation report says Diaz observed a Chevrolet Impala missing a license plate “fail to dim its high beam headlights.” The report says Diaz attempted to pull the car over, reaching speeds of over 100 mph during the pursuit.
