Texas authorities have revealed what they say is the chain of events on the morning of Sandra Bland’s death, as shown in surveillance footage from inside the jail during the hours leading up to the discovery of her body.
Bland was arrested July 10 for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a traffic stop in Waller County, Texas, the Sheriff’s Department said. She was found dead in her jail cell three days later and while officials initially said her death was a suicide, Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis announced Monday night that the case is being treated “like a murder investigation.”
