Assistant chief with the Louisville Metro Police Department last August L MP D committed to moving forward with increased transparency and improved efficiency in investigating officer involved shootings. This most notably included *** promise to release body worn camera footage within 10 business days of the incident. This is not changing but we are enhancing our method of delivery of that presentation. The following steps have been and will continue to be *** part of our commitment and that and process shortly after the incident, the chief or *** member of the executive staff will provide *** media briefing of preliminary information and address any public safety concerns on scene. Timely information will also be provided on L Mp D's social media platforms to keep the public informed. Within 24 and 72 hours of the incident involved officers will be identified to include current assignment department, photo accommodations or disciplinary history, identifications of involved deceased subjects will occur via the corner per state law within 10 business days. Body worn camera footage will be released with *** video introduction and explanation of our investigative processes, criminal and administrative investigations will continue on all involved including officers, consultation with the Commonwealth Attorney's Office and applicable presentations to the grand jury will also occur. *** copy of the case file will be provided to the Kentucky State Police for *** thorough investigative review. *** copy will also be provided to the Louisville Office of Inspector General in compliance with LM P's existing memorandum of understanding. Our goal is to provide the community and our officers with *** clear understanding of the process and *** consistent format to make as much information public as possible.

In light of this, LMPD announced new procedures when it comes to shootings involving police.

Here's how LMPD will proceed in these cases:

  • The chief or executive member will provide a media briefing following the incidents
  • Within 24 to 72 hours, LMPD will identify the officers involved, including their current assignment, commendations, and disciplinary history.

  • LMPD will provide the body cam footage with a detailed description of the incident.
  • There will not always be an accompanying press conference for these incidents

"Examples of when it may be necessary to call a press conference may include when there is a public safety concern, when we need the public's assistance with information.

More background on the shooting

When officers arrived, they found Napoles-Ravelo inside the home with family members, saying he was agitated.

During a news conference on Thursday, LMPD said that Napoles-Ravelo was actually the one who called 911, saying he needed to go to the hospital.

LMPD says at the time of the call, the incident did not qualify for crisis call diversion.

In body cam footage of the incident released on Thursday, officers spent more than 15 minutes speaking with Napoles-Ravelo, attempting to de-escalate the situation. There are multiple times throughout the video where police ask him to put a knife down.

Napoles-Ravelo is then seen moving toward the officers, who then fired their guns. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

LMPD had previously said that officers attempted to use less-lethal options before shots were fired, but in the body cam footage, those less-lethal options appear to be discharged at the same time as actual shots were being fired by police.

The officers who fired the shots were identified as Kendrick Eaves, Matthews Forbes, and Garrett Schmeltz.

All three officers are on paid leave, which is standard LMPD policy for these cases.
