Denver Police publishes video by Paco Sánchez Park Shooting, the injured teenagers

The Denver police released the camera recordings of an official carried with body on Monday who shot an allegedly armed, fleeing teenager in Paco Sánchez-Park in Paco Sánchez Park last week and hit him in the leg at least once.

The officers responded to two Shotpotter reports in the 1300 block of the Lowell Boulevard around 10:40 p.m. on February 24th and found three mussel sleeves in the region, CMDR. Matt Clark said in a briefing on Monday.

A resident who called in 911 about the shots reported that they fled a group of people on scooters and bicycles on Lowell, and the officials later found a group of four young men on scooters near West 13th Avenue and the Knox Court and followed them into the park.

At the beginning of February, an officer recognized one of the teenagers at a shootout in the southwest of Denver, where someone shot into a house while people were inside.

The official saw the 17-year-old held a gun in his right hand and ordered him to drop her. The officer then saw him “turned his shoulder to him” and started shooting the teenager, said Clark.

The camera shot carried out with the body shows the teenager that runs in the distance, and the officer tells him that he should “drop the (expantive) weapon, I will shoot it before firing it a second later.

According to the video, the officer fired his gun 10 times. The police met the teen moments later and he can be seen on the ground with blood on the sidewalk when the officer orders him twice to “let the weapon fall, I will (expedant) kill you.”

“I have no weapon, sir,” the teenager can be heard. “You shot me for free.”
