Body Worn Camera Footage Released In Woman's Death During Police Pursuit

OXON HILL, MD — The Independent Investigations Division of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General has released the body-worn camera footage from the fatal police-involved pedestrian collision involving the Prince George’s County Police Department and the Forest Heights Police Department that happened Saturday, Feb. 1, in Oxon Hill.

Aniyah Redd, 23, was killed in the collision. Attorney General Anthony Brown said Redd of Temple Hills was killed when she was struck by two cars on I-495 while attempting to elude police. According to law enforcement, on Feb. 1, police officers found a car that was stolen in a carjacking earlier in the day in the parking lot of a business in the 6000 block of Oxon Hill Road. Police said they saw Redd get into the vehicle shortly before 8 p.m. and drive away.

Officers with Prince George’s County Police, Forest Heights Police and Edmonston Police departments attempted to stop the vehicle, but Redd refused to stop and crashed the vehicle in the same parking lot, prosecutors said. Following the crash, prosecutors said Redd got out of the vehicle and attempted to run across I-495 on foot. That's when she was hit by two uninvolved vehicles traveling on I-495, according to state officials.

Redd was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Independent Investigations Division continues to investigate the circumstances of the fatal pedestrian collision.
