Metro begins to release footage from scene of Jeff German’s killing

Las Vegas police released body camera footage Thursday evening from the scene where Review-Journal reporter Jeff German was killed. On Tuesday, it released another video.

In the footage from Thursday’s video, a Metropolitan Police Department officer tapes off Bronze Circle, where German was found on the side of his home on Sept. 3.

Former Clark County public administrator Robert Telles has been arrested on suspicion of fatally stabbing German the day before the reporter was found.

In the Thursday video, the officer can be heard talking to Las Vegas firefighters who arrived on scene to investigate the death.

The officer pins up yellow tape around the scene before the video cuts to a silent, black screen. The end of the 46-minute video showed the officer grabbing a cooler from his car, and the screen remained black for the remainder of the video.

On Tuesday, police released a second video. The footage, which is heavily redacted, shows body camera footage from another officer who responded to the scene. The footage shows the officer driving to the scene, taking notes, and speaking with paramedics who responded to the scene.

Metro is expected to release more footage on a rolling basis.
