Jamel Dunn Death Investigation Expanded
July 21, 2017
Our office is sensitive to the concerns of the Mr. Dunn’s family, the Cocoa Police Department, and
our community at the deeply disturbing actions recorded on this video. We were asked to make a
preliminary review of the video regarding any potential charges for failure to provide aid.
Unfortunately, there is currently no statute in Florida law that compels an individual to render,
request or seek aid for a person in distress.
We are, however, continuing to research whether any other statute may apply to the facts of this
case. We have requested that the Cocoa Police Department forward their complete case file to us
upon completion of their investigation so that we can make a final determination.
