On Feb. 14, 2025, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office released video obtained by the Minnesota BCA from the cell phone of Winston Smith, showing the moments before he was shot by federal officers in Minneapolis in June 2021. According to the Hennepin Co. Attorney's Office, "The officers at the vehicle’s window begin to strike it in an attempt to gain access to Mr. Smith. While the officers’ actions are not captured on video, the noise of the strikes and glass shards coming from the window toward Mr. Smith are observable. It has been noted by the BCA that the glass of this window did not easily shatter. Therefore, to a casual observer of the video, it would be easy to mistake the sounds of the strikes and the ensuing glass shards as gunshots coming into the vehicle."
