U.S. Marshals & Las Cruces Police Shooting of Juan Angel Piñedo (Additional Footage)

[Shouting is loud. Shooting is louder. There is plenty of shouting and a fair amount of shooting in this video. Be mindful of your headphone volume.]

If you missed Part I, I recommend watching that first. This is meant to supplement it, not substitute for it.

Juan Angel Piñedo sealed his fate at approximately 6:00 pm on September 27, 2018. Surrounded by U.S. Marshals and heavily armed officers of the Las Cruces Police Department, Piñedo ignored more than a dozen commands to stay away from the handgun he had accidentally dropped during the preceding foot pursuit.

Piñedo, age 32, had led officers on a chase for several blocks and was on the run for much longer before that. But on the evening of September 27th Piñedo ran across the Las Cruces High School campus and found himself caught. Disobeying both commands and normal logic, Piñedo rapidly spun around and reached for the gun he had dropped. Officers fired a combined 18 shots at Piñedo, four of which hit their target. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Piñedo was wanted by police prior to the incident after he was suspected of pointing a handgun at his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend. As a felon Piñedo was not allowed to possess a firearm, but that charge was one of many that he faced from multiple incidents. His photograph had been run on television and it took a police manhunt to pin him down.

U.S. Marshals had located Piñedo at his ex-girlfriend’s apartment earlier in the day, but they did not have a warrant and she would not allow them entry. Officers set up a perimeter and about a half-hour later witnessed Pinedo jump from the second-floor window of the apartment complex armed with a gun. He landed in the parking lot and fled on foot.

This first video presented a variety of scenes and perspectives relating to the manhunt and eventual shooting of Juan Angel Piñedo, noting that additional footage was to come.

  1. And so she hid him even after he threatened her new boyfriend with a gun and they called the cops on him.. how much you wanna bet she got off on all this drama

  2. I know for a fact that there is at least one person who said, and I quote: “Well, why didn’t they just tase him? They didn’t have to shoot him he was unarmed!”

  3. I must admit that the first audio and video made it look like that officer opened fire only after the suspect was complying with commands to go to the ground. This clearly shows that he was in fact going for his weapon on the ground, and in fact there were many other shooters. Great job of showing other perspectives and cleaning up the video and audio so it tells the true story!

  4. oh fuckin well… sorry to the cops that had to take care of this piece of shit. hope you recover mentally.

  5. These cops all running around with ARs, just to be the guy who shoots him. Even before they find him you get the feeling every cop there just wants to waste someone. "Contact" is something you here in war. Then they come home and apply to kill their own.

  6. No confusion here he turned around clearly and clearly linger down to the firearm not to just get on the ground. Directions were clear. Good shoot
