Elgin police released 30 hours of footage from dash and body-worn cameras Thursday that captured the fatal police-involved shooting of 34-year-old Decynthia Clements earlier this month on Interstate 90.<\/p>\n

Police have said an officer first made contact with a suspicious vehicle about 12:30 a.m. March 12 on Cedar Avenue in Elgin and the vehicle was spotted again with \u201cobvious damage\u201d on I-90 near Route 25.<\/p>\n

After stopping the vehicle, police have said they tried to negotiate with Clements for more than an hour before a fire started inside her vehicle.<\/p>\n

Footage from a body camera worn by the police lieutenant who fired the fatal shots shows him inside a patrol car as he notices smoke coming from inside Clements\u2019 vehicle and leaking from the windows.<\/p>\n
