Bodycam Footage of Nevada Cops Shooting Armed Suspect Who Was Threatening To Kill His Wife
* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Reno, Nevada — On February 13, 2020, Abel Lopez-Lopez (“Lopez-Lopez”) and his wife S.L. became involved in a day-long argument, precipitated by allegations of inappropriate sexual contact between Lopez-Lopez and one of S.L.’s younger children. The 7-year-old victim reported the abuse the day before and also reported the same abuse to a teacher, who immediately reported the abuse to the police. Later that evening, SPD officers were alerted to a possible hostage situation after S.L.’s 16-year-old daughter (T.G.) called 911 after receiving text messages from S.L. saying that Lopez-Lopez was threatening to kill S.L.
Initially, SPD officers were dispatched to find S.L. and Lopez-Lopez at the Sparks Nugget Casino where S.L. was reportedly staying temporarily after learning about the alleged sexual abuse of her child. However, SPD officers failed to find S.L. at the casino. SPD then conducted an emergency phone ping to find S.L.’s phone. Officers also learned from T.G. that S.L. had texted her the address of an apartment belonging to the couple which they rented as a second residence. This information eventually led officers to 565 Sparks Boulevard 197, the Park Vista Apartments. The first officers on scene were able to confirm that Lopez-Lopez had leased apartment number 197 and began to formulate a response plan.
Once on scene, a group of officers, including SPD officers and RPD officers assigned to RGU took up a position near the apartment door. Supervisors and officers on scene considered the situation an active hostage situation and established an Emergency Action Team (.). The team initially consisted of SPD Officer Dustin Beauford, SPD Officer Brett Zolkos, and RPD Officer Chris Rose. A short time later, SPD Officer Bryan Yee and SPD Officer Daniel Jones joined the . Officers Beauford, Zolkos and Rose were all members of their respective agency’s Special Weapons and Tactics (.) Teams. While staged at the door, several officers reported hearing sounds in the kitchen, including a male coughing, a female’s voice, and people talking aggressively, but no sounds of violence.
At around 8:55 p.m., S.L. abruptly opened the door, then quickly slammed it shut. Officer Beauford responded to this immediately and yelled, “Sparks Police” while also trying to kick the door open. He was not successful, but quickly turned the knob and opened the door. He then entered the apartment, followed by Officers Jones, Rose, Yee, and Zolkos respectively. Once inside, the officers saw S.L., who raised her hands and moved away from the officers and into the kitchen. Lopez-Lopez responded by raising a pistol. Officers Beauford, Jones, and Rose each discharged their firearms. These rounds struck Lopez-Lopez in the right shoulder, through his chest, right upper arm, and right hand.
Following this, Officer Rose fired one round from his 12-gauge shotgun, striking Lopez-Lopez in the left side of his head. Immediately after the shots, officers grabbed S.L. and rushed her out of the apartment. She was transported to Renown Emergency Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment. Lopez-Lopez was pronounced deceased on scene. Washoe County District Attorney Chris Hicks has determined that the February 13, 2020 officer involved shooting of Abel Lopez-Lopez by Sparks Police officers Dustin Beauford and Daniel Jones as well as Reno Police officer Chris Rose was justified under Nevada law.
