MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee family continues to call for the release of more video footage after a man died while in police custody. 

Police say Brieon Green took his own life. 

The sheriff's office released some video from the arrest while Green was being taken to jail. 

The attorney representing Green's family says this video only tells part of the story of what happened to him.

"The most material aspect of what transpired on June 26 was not released," said Attorney B'Ivory LaMarr. "That is simply the footage of Brieon Green, unfortunately strangling himself with a phone cord. We want that footage to be released immediately."

Earlier this month, the District Attorney's Office announced it found no basis for criminal liability in Green's death.
