The mayor of Elyria, Ohio, has initiated an investigation following a woman’s claim that police officers, who executed a raid on her home, targeted the wrong address and used flash-bang devices that resulted in burns to her 1-year-old child.
Police have presented a conflicting version of events that transpired on January 10, asserting in a statement on Friday that they executed a search warrant at the correct address, and the child did not suffer “any apparent, visible injuries.”
Courtney Price disputes this account, citing audio from her Ring camera, which she exclusively shared with NBC News on Tuesday.
In the clip, someone can be heard stating, “it’s the wrong house.”
The person making the remark is unclear as the camera fell to the ground and went dark after the deployment of flash-bang devices by the police, NBC News reported.
Elyria Mayor Kevin A. Brubaker has characterized the incident as “serious and disturbing,” announcing a comprehensive review of the matter on Saturday.
He also mentioned that body camera footage from the incident would be released later on Tuesday.
