Bodycam footage from the 2019 officer-involved fatal shooting of Crystal Ragland was live-streamed by the Huntsville Police Department (HPD).

Shortly after the incident in 2019, HPD told News 19 that officers responded to a call at Stadium Apartments. A later lawsuit would report the apartment manager called 911 and told the operator that Crystal Ragland, 32, was waving a gun around threatening neighbors.

Police described the weapon she had as a semi-automatic style handgun.

When the two officers arrived and saw the weapon, investigators describe the exchange between the officers and Ragland as “intense.”

According to a GoFundMe page set up by a relative of Ragland, she was an Army veteran who had been diagnosed with PTSD and schizophrenia.

Police said Ragland did not follow officers’ commands.

A federal lawsuit related to the incident was dismissed in October 2021.

In a statement, HPD said they expect the presentation to provide background information on the events leading up to the incident and more context to the investigation and legal findings that led to the release of the bodycam footage.

Crystal Ragland’s family, in response to news that the video would be released, issued a response on Facebook that stated a judge ordered the release of the video, and it was not an effort by the Huntsville Police Department to be transparent.

“If they wanted to be transparent, they could’ve done it two years ago,” the statement read.
