Bodycam Video Of Fatal Police Shootout in Alamogordo, New Mexico – Everything Law and Order Blog

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
Footage of the shooting that killed Alamogordo police Officer Clint Corvinus and wanted fugitive Joseph Moreno last September was released by the New Mexico District Attorney’s Office Thursday afternoon. District Attorney John Sugg said he met with Corvinus’ and Moreno’s family to go over the findings with them as the investigation into the shooting is now complete. Lapel video from Officer Christopher Welch, who was on patrol with Corvinus the day of the incident, was shown during a press conference. “We have determined two things. First, that Officer Clint Corvinus was shot and killed by Joseph Moreno and second, that Officer Christopher Welch was justified in shooting Joseph Moreno,” Sugg said. On Sept. 2 Welch was on the final stages of the field office training. He had been with the Alamogordo Police Department for 10 months, according to police.

Corvinus was his field-training officer, Sugg said. “At that point in time it was called the shadow phase. During the shadow phase, Officer Welch takes over as the primary officer, Officer Corvinus basically just supervises, makes sure that Officer Welch is doing everything correctly,” Sugg said. The two officers headed out on patrols and came across Moreno, who was also known as “Diablo,” Sugg said. Corvinus remembered from a previous briefing that Moreno had several warrants for his arrest. The day of the shooting, Welch, who was driving the patrol car, tried to approach Moreno once the warrants were verified. Suggs said Moreno immediately fled on foot. The officers got out of the car and began chasing Moreno. In the video, the officers can be heard screaming, “Put your hands in the air, right now. Stop!” Police said that as Moreno was running away, he reached inside the bag and grabbed a .357-caliber revolver and pointed it toward the officers.

The video shows the moment when Officer Welch shoots Moreno after several attempts to get him to drop the revolver. “Officer Welch shot two times, one of those hit Moreno in the hip. Moreno then fell to the ground. When he fell to the ground, he was facing officers. He fired five times. One of those shots hit Officer Corvinus,” Sugg said. Police said they later found that the serial number on the weapon had unlawfully been removed. The video shows Moreno getting up, even after being shot, and continuing to run away from the officers with the gun still in hand. Welch pursues him, firing several shots and eventually killing him. As previously reported, police said Corvinus had been behind Welch and had never been in the direct line of fire. Welch didn’t know Corvinus had been shot until after Moreno had been subdued, police said. Welch recovered Moreno’s firearm, and officers later discovered 10 unfired hollow point bullets and a pair of handcuffs in the bag that Moreno was carrying, police said.

Police said Moreno had outstanding warrants for possession of a controlled substance, driving with a suspended driver’s license and two counts of burglary. In the past, Moreno has been arrested for an armed robbery, aggravated burglary, multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance, several counts of possession of a firearm by a felon and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, police said. Welch and other officers tried to give Corvinus CPR, and he was then taken to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, where he died. That portion of the video was left out by request of the family, Suggs said. He was a four-year veteran with the Alamogordo Police Department. Authorities said he is survived by his parents, his girlfriend and an 8-year-old daughter.

  1. All I know is that this officer is brave as shit and (coming from someone who's front porch is actually visible from this exact footage) trust me, it's appreciated. So sad that people died in vain that day though. All because some criminal decided that they wanted to be reckless with human lives rather than actually having to grow up already and just answer for their own mistakes

  2. What makes me sad is knowing that officers like her just willfully carry these sorts of heavy burdens on their shoulders for the sake of their communities all the time… It's sad, but at least it means they kept people safe from criminals (who clearly gave zero sh*ts about anybody's lives in the first place!) Plus, at least those heavy burdens and hard jobs they took upon themselves to handle never had to rest on someone else's shoulders to bear somehow. I myself am a dispatcher who was RAISED by two cops and even with that sort of familiarity, I seriously don't think I could ever do their job. I don't know.

  3. Damn that was a long ass shot. Gotta keep your range skills sharp. I can't believe the shit police deal with. Whole new respect for them since finding this channel.

  4. You guy think it’s okay to thank the cops for the duty but that man die too, what about him family and all the people that he left behind

  5. It wasn't really a good shot cuz he got his partner killed on he allowed a suspect to get up run turn around and fire and hit his partner he should have got him on first round of shots

  6. The ones that say fuck the police are the same dumbasses that can’t figure out to read the description instead idiotic comments like “Wtf no police officer even got killed in that video”

  7. You would be surprised how many police officers come on a scene and actually there to try and talk a suspect down and not even arrest them,but EVERYBODY always has to start shit with them the moment they arrive at the scene and it almost always ends in a fatality or some kind of physical force because everyone has to be a badass!!!! I haven't met one yet that it turned out good for!!!!

  8. Comply or die. That should be the law, save us all alot of headaches and resources. Clean the streets of ignorance and they will virtually "police" themselves. Rules are for fools.

  9. If he is Diablo, then he should be sent to the next world as soon as possible. Such people have terminally ill and distorted souls, and therefore they must be sent to the intermediate world for a "reboot". Our ancestors always hung on the trees killers, rapists, thieves and other rabble. When such a geek, having passed the reincarnation system, returns to Earth again, he will have a chance to start a normal life again.

  10. you know screw them I knew this guy really well and so did my dad he was going to the and the cops taught he had a gun when he pulling out his phone and shot him. he called my dad to come help him and my dads phone was off then my dad got the message and drove over there and try left him thare dead

  11. Thank you for posting this, and for the additional text analysis & background to help us understand things apart from the video.
    God Bless the Police! Every Shift they face people who are ready to Kill them just to avoid having to face jail time.
    The Bodycams show what LYING Worthless Scum their critics have been for so long. Funny, Now that we see just what the videos are showing the Police deal with every day, the Leftists who spent so much time DEMANDING Bodycams are screaming to have them removed and BANNED.

  13. That whole department is a joke. They are all sleeping with another on job and the dispatch to secretaries. Double standards, favoritism, other shenanigans.

  14. Funniest line ever” I don’t know why we say stop they never do. We should just yell. We’re the police RUN!
