A New Mexico man who was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy last summer did not have a firearm that he claimed to have after committing a crime spree, according to body camera footage released by authorities. The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday made public images showing the fatal #shooting of Marco Benito. Benito, 36, was killed by police Aug. 31 after he reached his right hand into a bag while in a ditch during a confrontation. San Juan County Sheriff Shane Ferrari said Benito told deputies five times that he had a gun. Sheriff's deputies said they gave 53 commands for Benito to leave the ditch and that Benito told deputies 27 times that he was refusing to comply with their orders. An investigation by the San Juan County Regional Officer Involved Shooting Taskforce determined that the deputy used his weapon in accordance with sheriff office's policy.

Tempe police have released body camera video from an officer-involved #shooting that left 21-year-old Angel Benitiez dead. The video released on Oct. 1 shows officers stopping a suspected stolen vehicle on Sept. 25 outside of a Panda Express restaurant in Mesa. Only three officers involved in this shooting were wearing body cameras. Five officers fired more than two dozen rounds, but the footage does not clearly show whether Benitez had his hands up when he was shot, as witnesses reported. Mesa police officers first encountered Benitez slumped over, asleep in the driver's seat of a car that had been reported stolen. As officers yelled commands, Benitez drove off from the scene. Police then tracked down the vehicle to an apartment complex in Tempe located near University Drive and Evergreen Road. (Read the full story.)
