The camera stops in the instant before Smith reportedly shot and killed Stewart outside a Flagstaff home on Dec. 27.

Stewart, 24, was a rookie with less than one year experience with Flagstaff police when he was killed Dec. 27. Investigators used footage from Stewart's body camera to piece together what happened at about 1:30 p.m. in an alley near Clay Avenue and Globe Street, not far from Northern Arizona University in one of Flagstaff's oldest neighborhoods.
