The Tulsa Police Department on Friday released body camera video of a
deadly officer-involved shooting that took place in October. Officers D.
Jones, C. Riley and J. McRee were involved in the shooting of Luis
Arreguin-Lara.
When police asked him to put the tire iron down, they say he pulled a gun from his side. "He turned his right hip sideways to get his hip away from the officers and began digging at his hip, and that was a key indicator to the officers he may have a weapon, and sure enough, he did," said Tuell. Initially, police said Arreguin-Lara had fired the first shot before three officers shot back. "But ultimately, when you produce a firearm in the manner that he did, it was very threatening. They felt like, at the very minimum, their lives were in danger and [they] had to make that quick decision," said Tuell. Arreguin-Lara had a felony warrant out for his arrest, and police say the ex-girlfriend did mention it to them, but they didn't get the opportunity to confirm it before police say he pulled the gun out.
