"DEVELOPING: The death of Freddie Gray was ruled a homicide, and the Baltimore prosecutor handling the case announced Friday that there was probable cause to file criminal charges against the police involved in his arrest last month, which she said was illegal.

-------------------------------------------------------------​---------

The fatal broken neck Freddie Gray suffered, apparently while riding in the back of a Baltimore police van last month, may have been caused when his head hit a bolt inside the vehicle, according to local reports citing sources familiar with a police report now in the hands of state prosecutors.

Sources familiar with the report said the medical examiner found the injury that caused Gray's death a week later, on April 19, was likely caused when he slammed his head into the interior wall of the police transport van and that his head injury reportedly matched a bolt in the back of the van. That explanation could jibe with a fellow passenger's account in a police affidavit that Gray was thrashing around in an effort to injure himself, although that witness went on the city's CBS affiliate to say his words were taken out of context and that he now fears for his life after his statement was used to bolster the police version of events.

The Medical Examiner's Office declined to comment on this open investigation and said it does not release preliminary findings. State officials are reviewing the report and determining whether there is sufficient evidence to charge as many as six police officers who were involved in Gray's arrest and transport. Gray's lawyer has said the 25-year-old's spine was nearly severed, but results of an autopsy, like the police report, remained under wraps. That has fueled frustration and suspicion in the community, where peaceful protests devolved into rioting and looting, culminating in a night of chaos on Monday.

"The transparency is just not there," the Rev. Cortly "C.D." Witherspoon said after Police Commissioner Anthony Batts refused to answer any questions Thursday.

An explosive Washington Post report on Wednesday night that said the witness riding in the back of the van heard Gray banging against the interior of the van also came into question, as that witness, Danta Allen, who had been arrested for allegedly stealing a cigarette, told WJZ he doesn’t believe Gray was trying to hurt himself.

“When I was in the back of that van it did not stop or nothing," Allen said. "All it did was go straight to the station, but I heard a little banging, like he was banging his head,” Allen said. ” I didn’t even know he was in the van until we got to the station.”
