Sheriff’s: Video evidence shows Malcolm Harsch hanged himself
SAN BERNARDINO — Surveillance video that authorities say shows Malcolm Harsch hanging himself in Victorville late last month was released Thursday and Friday to the man’s family members, who then issued a statement confirming the suicide.
The video evidence, captured May 31 from two surveillance cameras on buildings on Victor Street, was also shown to a group of reporters at San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department headquarters Friday afternoon.
A man in a white shirt, who authorities identified as Harsch, can be seen in the video near two tents in a homeless encampment. He throws objects, which authorities said were donuts, at one tent after an argument with his girlfriend, who was inside the tent.
Harsch is then seen wrapping what investigators said was an HDMI cord around his neck at approximately 6 a.m. May 31, according to the video’s timestamp. He then walks over to a nearby tree, where he can ben seen wrapping something around a branch. His body drops and disappears from view after that as the branch bends.
Sgt. Steve Allen, with the Victorville’s Sheriff’s Station, said everything investigators collected was also shown to members of Harsch’s family on Thursday and Friday.
He said he hoped “to dispel some of the myths” surrounding Harsch’s death as protests against police violence and systemic bias continue worldwide after the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis.
Harsch’s brother, De’Avery Richardson, a U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Irwin, participated in a remote conference call with members of Harsch’s family, who mostly reside in Ohio, Allen said.
In response, Najee Ali, a spokesperson for the family, released a statement that read: “On behalf of the family of Malcolm Harsch unfortunately it seems he did take his own life.”
“The Victorville Police Department officials released new video evidence to family members,” Ali wrote. “The family wants to sincerely thank everyone for their support and prayers.”

Attorney General William P. Barr on the Nomination of Jay Clayton to Serve as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York
Attorney General William P. Barr has released the following statement:
“I am pleased to announce that President Trump intends to nominate Jay Clayton, currently the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to serve as the next United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. For the past three years, Jay has been an extraordinarily successful SEC Chairman, overseeing efforts to modernize regulation of the capital markets, protect Main Street investors, enhance American competitiveness, and address challenges ranging from cybersecurity issues to the COVID-19 pandemic. His management experience and expertise in financial regulation give him an ideal background to lead the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and he will be a worthy successor to the many historic figures who have held that post. On behalf of the President, I thank Jay for accepting this nomination, and I look forward to working with him soon.
On my recommendation, the President has appointed Craig Carpenito, currently the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, to serve as the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, while the Senate is considering Jay Clayton’s nomination. This appointment will be effective July 3, and Craig will work closely with the outgoing United States Attorney to ensure a smooth transition. I thank Craig for his continued service and for taking on this important interim responsibility.
Finally, I thank Geoffrey Berman, who is stepping down after two-and-a-half years of service as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. With tenacity and savvy, Geoff has done an excellent job leading one of our nation’s most significant U.S. Attorney’s Offices, achieving many successes on consequential civil and criminal matters. I appreciate his service to the Department of Justice and our nation, and I wish him well in the future.”
