According to a Thursday announcement by both elected officials' offices, an assistant attorney general will work with two Multnomah County deputy district attorneys to oversee the criminal investigation currently being conducted into Delgado's death. Similar to past officer shootings, the investigation's results will then be presented before a Multnomah County grand jury to determine whether or not DeLong violated state law by using deadly force against Delgado.
