The video above is probably the most disturbing police shooting video I’ve ever. According to OCWeekly who obtained the cell phone video:
Cellphone footage obtained by the Weekly starts rolling when deputies on top of Aguilar after the foot chase. “Is it a gun?” deputy Albert Murade asks his partner Jose Ruiz. “It’s a gun, it’s a gun,” Ruiz responds. “You fucking move, I’m going to kill you bitch,” Ruiz tells Aguilar. The two deputies attempt to cuff Aguilar when he wiggles his hand free. Aguilar tries to get up, holding on to the gated fence nearby. Moments later, deputy Murade screams in pain after being shot in the stomach in a wake of confusion. “I didn’t shoot nobody,” Aguilar says, denying he has a gun. Video shows Ruiz holding his gun down after the shot rang out.
After more struggling, Aguilar turns to his side and asking why deputy Ruiz pulled his gun out before he fired a shot into Aguilar’s stomach. Then the wounded deputy fires three seemingly unprovoked shots from behind striking Aguilar in the neck and the head.
“The first shot is not justified because the victim is very vulnerable, he’s on his side,” Angel Carrazco, an attorney representing Aguilar’s mother and child, tells the Weekly. “The other three shots from the back, every single one of those is unjustified. For me, it seems like it’s murder.”
The footage shared by Carrazco’s Tustin-based law firm has been enhanced, slowed down in key spots and transcribed. “We got the video through an independent witness that was there,” he says. “This is evidence that we’ve had in the last twenty days.” Carrazco is handing the new evidence over to the Department of Justice, FBI, U.S. Attorney’s office and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office in hopes of bringing criminal charges against the deputies involved. The attorney is already in litigation for a civil suit brought on behalf of Aguilar’s family.
The day after the shooting, the Orange County Register ran a headline on the Aguilar killing that says the man, a documented gang member, had shot the deputy on scene. Further investigation by the LAPD showed that the gunfire came from the other deputy’s weapon. Authorities recovered another handgun at the scene that tests showed hadn’t been fired.
This story has just broken and we’ll keep you posted at it develops. Are these officers going to face charges? Are they still working? Stay tuned for updates. copblock.org - Ademo Freeman
