Baltimore Police have completed their investigation into Freddie Gray's death



Baltimore Police are set to announce Thursday that they have completed their investigation into the death of Freddie Gray and have turned it over to city prosecutors.

Police said Wednesday that no additional information would be released at the conclusion of their investigation. "By turning these documents, our findings over to the state's attorney's office as quickly as we can, we are being accountable to them so that we can be accountable to the public," spokesman Capt. Eric Kowalczyk told reporters.

Officials have already stated that the officers involved in Gray's arrest did not give him timely medical attention and did not put him in a seat belt when he was being transported in a police van, a violation of department policy.

Gray died in police custody a week after being arrested in West Baltimore. He suffered a spinal cord injury and lapsed into a coma before dying April 19. His death has triggered protests and some violence across the city.
