EAST LOS ANGELES () — Police have released body camera video showing a deadly officer-involved shooting at the end of a pursuit in East Los Angeles last month.
The incident happened the morning of April 8.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers were attempting to stop the driver of BMW that was reported stolen when the pursuit began.
“The officers followed the vehicle onto the 5 Freeway while requesting additional units,” said LAPD in an update posted on its YouTube channel. “When the BMW began to accelerate away in an apparent attempt to evade, the officers initiated a vehicle pursuit.”
The driver, who was identified as 30-year-old Jesus Ernesto Jaime, made a U-turn on the Olympic off-ramp of the 5 Freeway and crashed into a police vehicle. Authorities said Jaime then exited the car and began shooting at officers.
“Responding officers issued verbal commands for Jaime to surrender,” police said. “Jaime refused to comply and instead removed a semi-automatic handgun from his waistband and pointed it at an officer, resulting in an [officer-involved shooting].”
Police returned fire, killing Jaime at the scene. A passenger in the BMW complied with officers’ commands to surrender and was taken into custody without incident, according to police.
Two officers were taken to a hospital where they were treated and released for injuries.
Police said a 9mm semi-automatic Glock handgun, loaded with 17 live rounds, was recovered from the scene. Additionally, a loaded .357 Magnum Astra revolver was recovered from inside the BMW. Both weapons were booked as evidence.
No other injuries were reported. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
