The Riverside County Sheriff's Department released body camera video of a deadly deputy-involved shooting that occurred last month in Cabazon.

The shooting happened after a traffic stop on Carmen Avenue west of Rafael Street on Nov. 12, 2022.

Authorities said the suspect, identified as Kenneth Scott Wallis, 38, of Cabazon, was riding a bicycle on the wrong side of the street and was known to have a felony arrest warrant for a violation of parole.

Body camera video released on Tuesday shows the deputy talking to the suspect, informing him he can't ride his bicycle on the sidewalk. The deputy asks Wallis his name and if he has any weapons on him. Wallis told the deputy he did and began reaching down the bicycle to put his kickstand down.

Wallis then refers to himself as the antichrist. He then reaches into his pockets and as the deputy orders him to keep his hands out of his pockets, Wallis replies, "Shoot me then, mother...."

The deputy continues to order Wallis to keep his hands out of his pockets and Wallis once again yells, "Shoot me then!"

After a couple of seconds of this, Wallis gets back on his bicycle and attempts to leave. The deputy runs after him and pushes him off the bike.

Seconds later, Wallis begins yelling at the deputy, adjusting his backpack as the two circle each other.

The deputy pulls out his baton while holding Wallis at gunpoint, meanwhile, Wallis goes into his pockets, and in the original bodycam footage, Wallis appears to have grabbed a knife or cleaver, moments later, the deputy shoots him.
