Bodycam Shows Boise Police Shooting Woman After Pointing BB Gun At Officers

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
Boise, Idaho — The Blaine County Prosecuting attorney has determined that the officers who were forced to fire their weapons at Amber Dewitt on October 20, 2019 were justified in their actions. On October 20, 2019 at 6:21 a.m. Boise Police responded to Clover Drive for a report of a woman banging on doors looking for a person who had allegedly stolen her property. The officer who arrived first on the scene spoke with the calling party and then approached the female person of interest who was sitting in the driver’s seat of a silver sedan in the middle of the road.The officer immediately noticed that the female was overly nervous, trembling and acting unusual. The officer asked the female for identification, but she was unable to produce any. The officer observed an empty holster in the vehicle and when asked about it, the female stated her nephew just got a BB gun but did not answer questions about where the gun was currently.

The officer also asked the female about drugs in the car and she said there were not any drugs in the car. Another police patrol car arrived on scene and two police officers approached the car. One officer stood near the backseat door on the driver’s side and the other officer stood on the passenger side of the vehicle. During this time the first officer on scene observed a loaded syringe in the woman’s purse as she was looking through it and he took the purse and placed it on top of the vehicle. Soon after that, the officer on the passenger side of the vehicle saw the female reach under the passenger seat and a teal blue and black gun fell to the floor. The officer thought the female would acknowledge the presence of the gun and begin to back off but instead the female turned the gun to grab the grip and instantly brought it up, pointing it in the direction of the officer on the driver’s side of the car.

Fearing that the officers on that side of the vehicle would be shot, the officer on the passenger side fired his weapon three times. Simultaneously, the backup officer on the driver’s side of the vehicle saw the female point the pistol out the window and he fired his weapon at the female five times. The officer closest to the window did not have time to react other than try to move away. The female driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. She was later identified as Amber Dewitt. The Ada County Coroner found that Dewitt died from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. An investigation showed that Dewitt’s purse contained a syringe loaded with 50 units of a brown liquid which later tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine.

Inside the purse officers also located two prescription bottles, a mostly empty Methadone bottle, 15 grams of a crystalline substance in a container and a tube of Daisy BBs. During their investigation, CITF detectives also found evidence that Dewitt suffered from depression and other mental health issues and had previously mentioned “suicide by cop,” a term used to reference a situation in which a person forces a police officer to kill them by presenting a deadly threat. Toxicology reports of Dewitt’s blood indicate the presence of Methamphetamine, Amphetamines, Methadone and EPPP (Methadone metabolites).

During the follow up investigation on scene, officers found several nearby vehicles on Clover Drive with windows that had been broken or shattered. Technicians on scene said the damage was consistent with damage caused by a BB from a BB gun. BBs were also found on the ground nearby. CITF detectives were told by those who knew Dewitt that she planned to shoot out vehicle windows in her search for the person who stole her items. None of the vehicle windows were found to have been struck when officers fired their weapons.

  1. Why do you have a holster there? “It’s because my nephew just got a BB gun… it’s not even a tiny bit convincing

  2. This girl is literally making up the story as she goes. You can tell she’s buffering trying to come up with a legit excuse… they probably knew she was lying way before that too

  3. Coming here to tell you all hell is real, you don’t want to spend eternity there. Please consider accepting Jesus in your heart today. Repent of sins and turn to him while you still have time! You see from these videos people die everyday they didn’t plan to die. Make sure you end up in heaven, not in eternal torment.

  4. 7 Boise PD Officers gangraped my friend on Christmas Night 2011 and skull-bashed her. God will not accept this America.

  5. What repeatedly blows my mind is how people can act like the nicest person in the world then try pulling a gun on you 30 seconds later.

  6. I wonder if she was even trying to suicide or if she really was stupid enough to be like "imma show 'em that BB gun I was talking about earlier lolz."

  7. Soon as the other cop came to the passenger window who had clear view of the inside of the car. Cop on the driver side should have asked her to calmly set out of the car but instead left her touching stuff which he can't see. Yes she was stupid to get her self killed but these cop was stupid too after knowing there's a empty holster and taking her word It's not presence in the car.

  8. she's not black = not over 2K dislikes, and police did good work there she wasn't a "good boy"

  9. i hate that he just assumed she was hiding dope bc it was just. much more likely it was a gun bro like ahhhggg hindsight is SO 20/20 and its sucks!!

  10. Less scary for everyone: Obviously intoxicated: get her out of the car, detained, car search, then off to jail.

  11. If she as acting in such a suspicious manner, why not have her step out of the car to avoid any surprises, even more so once back up arrived?

  12. What are you going when could policia when you going when you me when you want me estoy think when could August 2019 you going when you policia when you going when

  13. What are you going when you going me estoy Tuesday 2019 you going when me estoy think when you going me estoy think police officers when need me estoy think when you going me estoy police chase you donde estoy policia when you going when

  14. I know these people are high out of their minds but honestly what do you hope to accomplish by pulling a BB gun out on three sober trained armed policemen? Like what is the best case scenario you can even come up with.

  15. After finding out she left two kids and a loving family behind, your sassy comments are not as funny anymore. Not saying that the cops did anything wrong, but still, it sucks.
