A Chicago Burger King manager says that he testified before a grand jury this week about police deleting surveillance video that may have captured images of a black teenager in the moments before he was shot by a white officer there, according to local media reports.

Officer Jason Van Dyke has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Laquan McDonald. Court-ordered release of squad car, dashcam video of the Oct. 24 confrontation shows Van Dyke shooting McDonald 16 times.

Jay Darshane, the Burger King manager, has accused police of erasing the restaurant’s surveillance tape. He also told the Chicago Tribune that the FBI seized the video recorder containing all of its surveillance images.
