Aurora police officers shot and killed a 14-year-old robbery suspect seconds after the teenager told the officers, “Stop, please.
You got me,” as he was being tackled to the ground, according to body camera footage released Friday.
Jor’Dell Da’Shawn Richardson died shortly after an Aurora Police Department officer shot him in the stomach June 1 during a chase.
Richardson had a pellet gun in his waistband during the chase, but it remains unclear whether he pointed it at officers during the chase or let go of it as officers commanded him to drop his weapon.
The footage from two officers’ body cameras show officers with Aurora’s Gang and Robbery Investigation Team responding to a suspected robbery at a convenience store at 4:17 p.m. on June 1. Two officers spot Richardson wearing a white hoodie and medical mask outside of the store.
He runs from the officers, and they chase him into a nearby alleyway, where they tackle and shoot the 14-year-old within a matter of seconds.
As officers chase Richardson down the alleyway, video shows the teenager reaching toward his waistband.
Seconds later, Officer James Snapp tackles the teenager.
