The Colorado Springs Police Department has released body camera footage from the August 3 shooting that killed a 19-year-old as he tries to avoid arrest. Police in Colorado Springs have released body cam videos that show police officers firing on and killing the 19-year-old as he tries to avoid arrest. Friends and family have called for an independent investigation into whether or not the Aug. 3 shooting was justified.

Police say the 19yo was a robbery suspect and that he reached for a weapon before he was shot. The videos from two officers at the scene of the fatal shooting show him and another male standing up and being questioned by officers. “We have a report of two people, similar descriptions, possibly having a gun … so don’t reach for your waists. We’re gonna just check and make sure you don’t have a weapon,” say officers, according to a transcription police displayed next to the video.
