Pierce County body cameras caught the moment a suspect was shot in the back as he tries to drive away from deputies. The shooting was later ruled justified.
Body camera footage from Pierce County deputies shows a suspected car thief trying to avoid arrest by driving a motorcycle through his neighbors’ field, when one deputy opens fire, striking the man in the back.Moments earlier, a sergeant ordered commands saying: "Stop or I’ll shoot," before ultimately deciding not to take the shot.
"This discrepancy in sequence is understandable and is not critical to this analysis," the prosecutor wrote.However, later it quoted Johnson about the moments before the shooting at the second scene, saying that Galeana Mendoza was, "coming directly toward him on the motorcycle before he suddenly changed directions."Video evidence does not appear to show Galeana Mendoza ever drive toward Sgt. Roberts or Deputy Johnson.
