MAPS officials say statements from a member of Arrington’s family allege that officers entered her apartment forcibly without a warrant and shot her five times with her children present in the apartment.

Part of those claims have been refuted by the Harrison County Coroner’s Office which reports that the shooting victim, later identified as Arrington, was found shot outside the apartment.

“BPD Chief Miller has provided no information to the public about events leading up to the homicide of Ms. Arrington, other than the responsible officer has been placed on paid leave,” MAPS Siad in the statement. “A spokesperson for MS Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell has stated that the department will not make any comments about the homicide during the investigation, which is being conducted by MS Bureau of Investigation.”

MAPS said that while the state public records laws permit investigative reports from being issued to the public, a law enforcement agency may use discretion and choose to release any part of such investigative reports.

“As a matter of public safety, BPD Chief Miller has the discretion and obligation to release the body cam footage to the public without further delay,” MAPS said in the series of Tweets. “As an agency directly accountable to, funded by and mandated to protect and serve the residents of Biloxi, Chief Miller’s first and most important duty, as stated by BPD’s own mission statement, is to ensure ‘progressive, reliable and citizen-oriented police services in the most professional and timely manner possible.’ Chief Miller– release the video.”
