Mayor Tucker and members of the Fort Wayne Police Department did not take questions from the media due to the case being an active investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Tucker\u2019s statement is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>My office and I have spent the weekend and all of today in communication with the Fort Wayne Police Department. Our entire City of Fort Wayne team has worked diligently to properly review the incident from this past weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I am a strong proponent of body cameras. My support goes back to my time on City Council and my leadership on the passage of the implementation of body cameras. My desire is to have body cameras serve as protection for public safety personnel and the public. Transparency and trust are key components of a healthy and desirable community.<\/p>\n<p>The Fort Wayne Police Department is in communication with the family of Linzell Parhm to allow for them to view the body camera footage. Once the family has had the opportunity to view the video, the City of Fort Wayne will release the body camera footage to the media and the public. This is out of the utmost respect for the family.<\/p>\n<p>This situation is unprecedented due in part to the viral video of the incident that has been circulating. Each situation that we encounter in the future will be handled on a case-by-case basis and may not involve the immediate release of body camera footage.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Fort Wayne Police Department and I will not be able to take questions from the media due to the case being an active investigation.<\/p>\n<p>It is critical that we come together as residents of our great city and support one another.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/tag\/fwpd-officer-involved-shooting-20240622\/\">Read other posts on this topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='f9f4a6fc71b4a519fa2b75bc1d879da8' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
