The footage shows officers clearing the house after discovering Darrell's body. One officer, wearing the body camera, explains to his colleague who the deceased was. When he says the star's name, his partner exclaims “Oh!” in surprise. The officer even remembered the truck Sheets and his son used to haul away their auction finds.
