Body camera footage released Wednesday by Salt Lake City police shows a man breaking into a home to try and evade pursuing officers early Jan. 13 before police fatally shot him.
About 40 minutes before the deadly police shooting, officers with SLCPD’s gang unit were initially investigating two wanted fugitives with felony warrants early Jan. 13 when they found them in a car near 1300 West Araphoe Avenue in Poplar Grove at about 2:30 a.m.
Officers used tire a deflation device to try and stop the vehicle, but Halai continued driving, hitting two patrol cars during the pursuit, police said. Footage also showed Halai driving through front yards and onto sidewalks to get around an officer who had blocked off a street with his patrol car. Police said in a news release that the stun gun “did not immobilize Halai.” Body camera footage shows Halai limping away after it was deployed, and when he is subsequently shot at, the footage then shows Halai breaking a window and going inside the house that he had approached.
Officers found a weapon in Halai’s posession as they arrested him at about 3:10 a.m., though officials in the news release Wednesday did not identify the weapon. Police then treated him as they requested paramedics, who took Halai to a hospital, where he later died on Jan. 21.
