POPPY HARLOW, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome back to NEW DAY. A district attorney in Baton Rouge recusing himself from the Alton Sterling death investigation. This as we learn more about the store owner who shot the video of that deadly encounter. That store owner is now suing the police. Our Boris Sanchez is live this morning in Baton Rouge with more. What do we know, Boris?</s>BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Poppy. That district attorney for East Baton Rouge Hillar Moore recusing himself from the case saying that essentially he is too close to the family of one of the officers involved in the shooting of Alton Sterling. He says he's simply too close to the family of Blane Salamoni. He says he's working with 400 homicide cases with his mother and that his father is part of the security detail in charge of looking out for the safety of the district attorney. He says he does not want any questions about his impartiality to color the case. So he is stepping aside for this one. Aside from that, there are growing calls for security footage from that Triple S Mart where Alton Sterling was killed to be released. The owner of that mart is suing the Baton Rouge police department. He says the footage of confiscated legally without a warrant and that he was held for more than six hours, first in the back of a police car, and then here at the Baton Rouge police department, without being allowed to call his family or an attorney. Very serious allegations. We've called the Baton Rouge police department for comment. They say they do not comment on pending litigation. But they say the footage is now on its way to the Department of Justice -- Chris.</s>CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: All right, Boris. Those are important aspect of the situation. Thanks for staying on it. We're going to go to break right now. Another important aspect you're seeing getting a lot of attention, but is it the right kind of attention. There's suggestions and statistics flying all over the internet and TV. Are blacks more criminal? We'll look at his. And are whites actually killed by cops more often? Here's another number that shows that. We have the real numbers in context ahead.
