A family will sue Baltimore Police after the death of Dontae Melton Jr., a man who died while in police custody in June, their attorney said Tuesday.

The update comes nearly a week after the Maryland Attorney General's Office released body-worn camera footage of the interaction between 31-year-old Melton and Baltimore police on June 24.

Melton's death has been ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Attorney Larry Greenberg with Greenberg Law Offices said the lawsuit would be filed after the Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division (IID) completes its investigation.

On Tuesday morning, police said they have not received an autopsy report and the investigation is ongoing.

Baltimore Police said they do not comment on pending litigation.
