[The OIS sequence begins at 35:16]

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 Pinedo 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 video presents a variety of scenes and perspectives relating to the manhunt and eventual shooting of Juan Angel Pinedo. Additional footage to come.

  11. They giving the other cops orders through the fence, like it’s impossible to get on the other side. Just stay over there morons

  12. I love how the dog is so down and ready to find the suspect. That’s awesome, it’s like a game to him.

  13. At a glance it almost looks like he threw the gun and was giving up before the officer fired. However, if you watch VERY slowly and carefully it's clear that he ACCIDENTALLY dropped his gun and reached for it on the ground just before officers opened fire

  15. "disobeying both commands and normal logic" I don't know why but that line in the description made me laugh

  19. What dust pile of nothingness . No wonder everyone there has resorted to meth and drugs . 🤦‍♂️
    FFS ..move people .

  26. I love the fact that the k-9 officer is riding around bumping Metallica while chasing down dad guys 🤟✊👊
