ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. — A videotape that has never been seen by the public shows the events that lead up to the death of a 17-year-old while he was in custody at a treatment center. The tape raises questions about the district attorney’s decision not to file any criminal charges.

Omega Leach died in June 2007 at what was at the time known as Chad Youth Center in Montgomery County.

The medical examiner concluded Omega died of strangulation in a homicide.

The surveillance video shot by a camera at Chad shows Omega and a staff member, Randall Rae, wrestling in a hallway outside Omega’s room. Rae, at one point, has both his hands around the boy’s neck as Rae has Omega pinned down on the floor.

The altercation would later move to Omega’s room, outside of camera range.
