On May 3rd, 2018 the officer involved in a February 19th, 2018 officer-involved shooting of an armed subject was cleared by the Denton County Grand Jury and an internal investigation by the Denton Police Department Office of Professional Standards. The Texas Rangers conducted an extensive investigation of this incident at the request of the Denton Police Department. The Denton County Grand Jury completed their review of the incident which occurred on February 19th, 2018 in the 1700 block of Spencer Road and concurred with the findings of the Texas Ranger’s investigation. On February 19th, 2018 Officer John Landolfo, a 7-year veteran, and his trainee, Officer Je’Ni Nelson, were sitting in their marked patrol Tahoe in a parking lot along Spencer Rd when a male suspect approached the back of their vehicle and began yelling at the officers. When the officers exited their vehicle to check on the male, he produced a knife. The suspect threatened the officer with the knife and then began to walk away toward a wooded area. Concerned for the safety of the public, both officers walked behind the suspect while giving him instructions to stop and to drop the knife.
Several yards off of the roadway, the suspect disappeared from view into a densely wooded area. When the suspect returned to the officers’ view he was swinging the knife and approaching the officers swiftly and aggressively. Officer Landolfo deployed his dual-cartridge TASER X2 in an attempt to stop the suspect’s advance. The male initially fell to the ground, but quickly got back to his feet. A second TASER cartridge was deployed but failed to incapacitate the suspect. As the suspect continued to advance on the officers, Officer Landolfo was forced to drop his TASER and use his sidearm. Officer Landolfo fired two rounds from his pistol striking the suspect in his upper body. Paramedics were immediately called to the scene and officers rendered first aid using a medical/trauma kit carried into the woods by the first backup officer to arrive. Despite the immediate lifesaving efforts, the Denton Fire Department determined that the suspect was deceased upon their arrival. The suspect has been identified as Lawrence Shaw

headshot
It’s like people don’t realize there’s a gun on the other hip man
Another thug bites the dust.
I'd say with 1 to the face and 1 to the chest there's no need to put a rush on that medic.
Completely justified,
Run at cops, you get popped. (If you have a deadly weapon, of course.)
Fatally with 2 shots? Then it was a head shot
It's not that Tasers will stop people but if time and space permit, they're worth the effort. Why? Because it helps the cop if they eventually have to use lethal force. PTSD is real and they need to sleep at nigh knowing they tried to incapacitate before needing to use lethality.
Yo holy shit, in the face? Crazy
he couldn't whats' up baby himself outta that one his brains was leakin out god damn
the shot was so smooth
if you're charging at a officer with a knife that's what you get
Why shoot them in the leg when you can shoot them in the face, Murica!
LMAO!!!!!!!
GOOD SHOOT .
"we got shots fired one in the face one in the chest"
pretty sure that guy doesn't need medic he needs a coffin lol
One to face one to chest.
Give this man a marksman award
Great job by that officer – very calm and methodical – the power in those tasers probably needs to be doubled.
ðŸ‘police!!!
I'll have a coke.
Is it possible to see these videos without the blurred parts when there's a close up??,,,,, I kinda have a thing for seeing people's facial expressions in there last moments as there lay full of bullet holes and blood,,,,,
two shots were not enough to wank for shooting fetish cop, he continues to point gun after he took off the knife asking the suspect to give him a possibility to shoot him again…
-.- the dude already Dead
It's OK officer, you don't have to lie, we all wanted you to do it. No shame in taking out the trash
They need to nerd headshot damage multiplier
Why do these people keep thinking it's a good idea to bring a knife to a gun fight. It's mind boggling. Thank god for these cops though, keeping society safe!
It’s funny how he said that he didn’t want to do that when he tases him and shot him multiple times and still acted as if he was the victim 🤦â€â™‚ï¸
No need for apology, he was going to kill you with a knife and I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to apologize.
Can we get a close up of the face shot?
Isn't this what they call "splitting whigs"?
“He took one to the face; one to the chest. Stay calm brother I did not want to do that. Stay calm.†Dude HES DEAD!
"Do not move" It seems a little bit difficult for him with 30% of brain out of his head :/
Suicide by cops…
Oh look, another "innocent unarmed black man". Body cameras putting BLM out of business.
He got "J-Wicked"
This has become M'aiq's favorite Youtube channel, this one's forgot all about the big titty Twitch streamer girls.
you just had to double tap him…gut shots are more effective my opinion
Out like a light ayy yuh, like a light
He’s definitely gonna stay calm after a face shot lol
Taking out the garbage, no loss.
Love it when they get shot in the face.
Phenomenal officer, I’m left with deep respect for him
Tazers dont work on a person high on pcp.
01:40 Get a medic down here.. for a shot in the face.. !! Makes sense !! 😂😂
Good.
How many points for a head shot?
Two shots – and a HUGE problem for society gone forever. Give the officer a medal and a massive pay rise and honour him on a regular basis. Well done and full marks.
Gave him 2 sleeping pills
Cop was well trained for sure. Had taser and gun out when the taser didn't work quickly drew his gun. 2 clean shots one to the head one to the chest all while keeping calm.
