JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) -- The Will County Sheriff's Office released body camera video Monday showing the moments deputies shot and killed a grandfather and his grandson inside their Joliet Township home last year.

This comes after months of CBS 2's reporting about a lack of transparency with how the sheriff's office communicated what happened to the public, and their refusal to initially release the video or any police reports.

On Nov. 6, 2021, deputies responded to a call about an argument between 70-year-old Eldred Wells, Sr. and his 21-year-old grandson, Jabbar Muhammad. The caller, a relative, said Muhammad had a knife and was arguing with Wells.

According to records obtained by CBS 2 and interviews with family members, it appeared Muhammad was in the midst of a mental health crisis when deputies arrived that day. This was the second time in 10 days deputies were called to the home. Records show they responded to a suicide attempt by Muhammad on Oct. 27. He was admitted to the hospital and treated. He was released on Nov. 6, 2021 – just a few hours before the fatal incident.
