Derrick Murphy, Hoover’s lone black city council member, has called for state authorities to release information and footage regarding the deadly shooting of Emantic Fitzgerald “EJ” Bradford inside the Riverchase Galleria.

Murphy, along with Mayor Frank Brocato, Police Chief Nick Derzis, and other city leaders made the announcement Thursday morning during a press briefing at City Hall.

ALEA has been asked to release information about the shooting by noon Monday, Murphy said. If ALEA does not, the city might release it themselves, Murphy said.

“I’m making a request to ALEA to allow the City of Hoover to release the limited information we have. We urge ALEA to approve this request no later than noon on Monday. Chief Derzis and I have also discussed a follow up plan in the event we don’t receive the information by Monday at noon, the chief will decide whether to release the limited information on his own,” Murphy said.
