Everyone’s still in the dark about what happened to Freddie Gray

The Baltimore Police Department completed its investigation into the death of Freddie Gray today, but it's not sharing any details with the public. The 25-year-old black man died April 19 after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody. The department turned its findings over to the state's attorney,

who will decide whether charges will be brought against any of the six suspended police officers involved in Gray's arrest.

No timetable has been set for the decision. Separately, something the public did just learn was that a prisoner who shared a police van with Gray says he heard Gray "banging

against the walls" and believed he was intentionally trying to injure himself. The statement from the unidentified prisoner was reported by The Washington Post. The newspaper noted that while the two were sharing a van, they were separated

by a metal partition and couldn't see one another.
