The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation has released a 12 second video captured from Burlington Police Officer Jesse Hill’s body mounted camera on January 6th–the day that Hill shot Autumn Steele when responding to a domestic dispute.
In it, it shows the moment of the shooting. While Autumn Steele is grabbing and pulling at her husband Gabriel, Hill orders the couple to stop.
“He’s got my kid!” Steele responds. Immediately afterwards, a dog can be heard. Hill orders the couple to “get their dog”.
A shot is fired. The camera falls backwards as Hill slips on the snow. Another shot is heard.
Gabriel can be heard saying “He shot you?” immediately after the shots are fired.
County Attorney Amy Beavers opted not to file charges against Officer Hill following the incident.
DCI released the video due to a request from the Hawk Eye Newspaper, which broke the story. Requests from KBUR to attorneys representing the Burlington Police Department were denied.
