After looking at footage from a security camera, Baltimore police found that the van transporting Freddie Gray made a previously undisclosed stop on its way to the police station.
"We discovered this new stop based on our thorough and comprehensive and ongoing review of all CCTV cameras and privately-owned cameras," Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said. "This new stop was discovered from a privately owned camera." ABC News is reporting that the stop was made at N. Fremont Avenue and Mosher Street, but police did not release any other details. The Associated Press says that the footage came from a Korean grocery shop.
Gray suffered unexplained and ultimately fatal spinal injuries while in custody, and police say he requested medical attention, which he never received. Police say it took 30 minutes for the van to arrive at the police station, where paramedics were finally called.
