Various versions of the Office of Independent Review Group’s report on the March, 2012 officer-involved shooting of Kendrec McDade have been issued by the Pasadena City Attorney’s Office over the 16 months, each with redactions.

The most recent version, with the fewest redactions yet, was released by the City last week on December 2 in response to a court order by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant.
