A police officer in Florida was charged with a first-degree misdemeanor Friday in a 2021 service-weapon shooting that left a man paralyzed when he meant to use a stun gun, authorities say.
Hollywood police were not immediately reached Friday afternoon.
A review of the shooting earlier this year determined the officer who fired a gun and struck Ortiz in the back, meant to use a stun gun. They struggled, and an officer used a Taser on Ortiz before placing him in restraints, police said. As officers tried to move him into an elevator so he could be taken to a hospital, Ortiz resisted and an officer opened fire, according to police.
“The department recognizes this is an unfortunate incident and is doing what it can to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” the police statement from earlier this year said. “We empathize with Mr. Ortiz and his family and know they have many questions about that evening. Our hope is that once the investigation is complete, we will be able to meet with them and provide any additional information they are seeking.”Andrews’ arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 31, prosecutors said.
