Austin, Texas — The Austin Police Department released body cam and dash cam footage of a June 12th police shooting that that left one man dead in North Austin. Four APD officers, Spencer Bradley, John Zavala, Dennis Kerlin and Lonnie Cannon, were involved in the incident. Officer Zavala and Kerlin shot the man, who was identified as 42-year-old Carlos Eli Chacon-Castillo. The incident began when an officer saw a disabled vehicle on the side of the road near the 800 block of E. Koenig Lane with an occupant inside. The officer said that Chacon Castillo had a knife, so additional officers were called to respond. Austin police said Chacon Castillo appeared to be agitated, and he would not put the knife down.
Chacon Castillo then shouted at the officers “just shoot me.” Officers continued to deescalate the situation when Chacon Castillo advanced toward the officers. One officer deployed a less-lethal firearm at Chacon Castillo, but it was ineffective. The advances continued, and two other officers fired their APD-issued guns and shot Chacon Castillo. Once the officers could determine that Chacon Castillo no longer had the knife and didn’t post a threat, officers attempted life-saving measures until EMS medics arrived on the scene and took him to the hospital. Around 1:09 p.m., Chacon Castillo succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
