California – Man fatally shot by SF police allegedly told them hospital couldn’t ‘help’ him, ‘make sure you aim’. Nelson Waynezhi Szeto, 37, was reported to airport workers for suspicious behavior after he was seen acting strangely near the BART entrance to the airport’s International Terminal, as per the San Francisco Chronicle. A TSA agent then reported him to SFPD, while a frightened airport passenger may have called 911, according to SFist.
The bodycam footage was among other documented evidence presented at Monday’s virtual town hall meeting. Altogether, they show that Szeto carried a knife and what appeared to be two handguns, which later turned out to be airsoft guns.
Surveillance footage shows the officers kept their distance as a pacing Szeto took out his knife and removed a “gun” from his jacket. During the encounter, he reportedly told officers that the “hospital cannot help him.”
