The Phoenix Police Department has released body-camera video from a deadly officer-involved shooting that happened inside a Phoenix store last month.
The shooting resulted in the death of 31-year-old Essex Jackson, AZFamily reports.
The Oct. 20 incident began around 8 a.m. when two officers responded to a call about a man with a “large knife” trespassing at a Dollar Tree store.
Inside the store, officers confronted the man and ordered him to comply. He went into the back storeroom of the business and climbed up on some boxes, the video shows. The officers tried to take him into custody after drawing their TASERs.
The man managed to get away from the officers and ran back into the store, the video shows. One officer grabbed him, but she lost her grip and fell into a store display, police say.
Another officer and a security guard caught up with the man in the store aisle. He was tased and went down but got back up again.
The video shows the man continues to resist the officers while they tried to take him into custody. One of the officers tried to drive stun the man with his TASER and the man grabbed the TASER and used it on the officer, police say.
The video officer shows a male officer breaking away from the suspect, drawing his duty weapon, and firing multiple rounds.
The suspect died at the scene.
A fixed-blade knife was found at the scene.
The incident is under investigation.
