Salt Lake County DA Sim Gill reopened the investigation into CHPD Officer Casey Davies' 2018 shooting of 19-year-old Zane James.
Information about an officer causing James to crash his motorcycle before the shooting came to light six months ago.
Through the lawsuit, the James family obtained Davies’ compelled, internal interview, in which Davies told an investigator he “made the decision I’m going to run [James] over” and then hit James with his car before shooting him. Cottonwood Heights police updated the report from Davies’ May 29, 2018, shooting of James last week, at around 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 8. The document previously had only described the shooting; the added material acknowledged Davies’ first deadly use of force with his car.
Bartlett wrote that “this information was new to me and I felt that I needed to inquire further.” He said he told police Chief Robby Russo and called the Salt Lake City Police Department and the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office to reopen the investigation. “The City continues to maintain that Officer Davies used legal force in shooting Zane James,” the statement read. “The City stands behind its officers’ actions relating to the shooting and will continue to defend them against the James family’s claims.”
