The Delaware Department of Justice, the City of Wilmington, and Wilmington Police Department jointly released body-worn camera (BWC) footage related to the June 24, 2026 officer-involved shooting (OIS) of Kadir Skinner near 24th & Carter Streets in Wilmington. Three officers’ BWC videos are being released.

• Officer 1
• Officer 2
• Officer 3

The footage begins shortly before each officer arrives at the scene and ends shortly after they return to their vehicles. The faces and names of witnesses and officers have been redacted pursuant to the DOJ’s legal and ethical obligations during an active criminal investigation. The footage is otherwise unaltered.

BWCs are worn on officers’ torsos, and by design automatically and constantly record video, but not audio, as part of a “buffering” period up to and until the time that the camera is activated. When a BWC is activated, it automatically retains any available footage and begins to record both video and audio from that point forward. As a result BWC video is typically silent when it begins.

The video is being disclosed as a matter of public interest. Although the OIS remains the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Division of Civil Rights & Public Trust (DCRPT), investigators have completed substantial early steps—including but not limited to key witness interviews, community canvasses, and family meetings—that may otherwise have been jeopardized by expedited disclosure. During the active investigation the DOJ cannot characterize the events, people, or objects captured in the video, nor disclose any other evidence. Consistent with DOJ policy, the officers will be identified and all evidence published as part of a fully-detailed public report and legal analysis following the investigation’s conclusion.

The DOJ continues to seek supplemental video, which may be submitted to publictrust@delaware.gov.
