Police have released dashcam footage of a stolen car chase involving three teen girls from Florida moments before they crashed and drowned in a pond.
The footage, released by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, shows deputies in a car chase with the teenagers, aged 15 and 16, who were driving in a Honda Accord they had allegedly stolen, according to ABC News.
In the video, which does not show the full incident, police can be seen pursuing the vehicle before the chase ends in a marshy pond at the Royal Palm cemetery, where 15-year-old Laniya Miller, 15-year-old Ashaunti Butler and 16-year-old Dominique Battle drowned.
The girls’ attorney is questioning why law enforcement did not help the teenagers.
The Sheriff’s office has stated that deputies handled it appropriately and that the video does not depict all of the actions by law enforcement.
