Leonard Allan Cure, 53, died on Monday after a Camden County sheriff's deputy shot him; the officer has not been officially identified.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office said in a posting online the video was released because of rumors and misinformation, but did not elaborate.
A representative for the sheriff's office did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment on Wednesday.
The deputy later told Cure on the video that Cure was driving 100 miles per hour (160 kph) on Interstate 95 in southern Georgia.
Cure's family watched the video Wednesday at a Georgia Bureau of Investigation office with their attorney just before it was released by Camden County, in southern Georgia.
