Chilling minute A Florida deputy shoots and kills a shooter after his 21-year-old brother was slain in a confrontation with a third man.
Friday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage depicting the events leading up to the fatal shooting of a man by a deputy earlier this month.
The event occurred outside the Heritage Hotel in Orlando on August 6th.
Both brothers were killed, and the deputy was placed on temporary administrative lead until the outcome of an investigation.
According to the agency, Dylan Jimenez, the brother who was incapacitated when the deputy arrived, was engaged in a gun war.
Jimenez was left slumped on a car and bleeding out in the hotel parking lot, prompting his 28-year-old brother, Bryan Richardson, to rush to the scene.
On Friday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department published a video depicting the immediate aftermath of the incident, in which witnesses surrounded Jimenez.
However, apparently unknown to the deputy, Richardson stood with a revolver at his side just beyond the gathering of bystanders encircling the dying man.
After several seconds on the scene, the officer notices the armed man and draws and points his service pistol at Richardson.
In the video, Richardson is not violent and even hands the gun over to the female officer with his other arm extended toward the deputy.
Despite this, he is shot eight times by the police before fainting.
