3. Has your office instructed FCPD to refrain from disclosing
information
about
this case?
The FCPD was not asked
to
refrain from disclosing information about the shooting.
However, the FCPD was advised not to disclose information about
the federal
investigation.
4. Has FCPD refused to provide to
your
office any information
or
documents
pertaining to this case--including the personnel file of
the
officer who allegedly
shot Mr. Geer?
f
so, please explain
what
was withheld
and
the reason given
for
withholding?
There have been a number of challenges in investigating this
case. Issues concerning
withheld materials were favorably litigated by the Department in
a court matter that is
and remains filed under seal.
5. When was this case
transferred
to your office from Fairfax County
Commonwealth s
Attorney
Ray
Morrogh? What was the reason for the
transfer?
The Fairfax County Commonwealth s Attorney referred this matter
to the USAO on
January

2014. The Criminal Section became involved on February

t
is
not unusual for our offices to receive police-involved shooting
investigation referrals
from local prosecution offices.
We hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate
to
contact this office
if
we
may provide additional assistance regarding this or any other
matter.
