Rochester Cops drop armed person of suspicion
This compilation of bodycam footage comes from Rochester, New York. Multiple calls came in regarding a person in a red jumpsuit acting suspiciously, including a report that he tried to get in someone's occupied vehicle. When police tried to make contact with the suspect, he tried to flee, at which point the officers went hands-on. The suspect resisted and afterward drew a handgun, at which point the officers shot and killed him. Viewer discretion is advised. Akintude Campbell, 38 years of age was reported by several 911 callers as exhibiting suspicious behavior, from wandering door-to-door to attempting to get in someone's car. Having an articulable reason to detain him, the officers attempt to physically restrain Campbell from leaving. He resists and creates distance, at which point they begin talking, to create a delay. However, their suspicions that Campbell has a gun are proven correct when he presents and refuses to drop it. After several warnings, Campbell still refuses to drop the weapon and is shot several times by both officers. Despite medical aid rendered, Campbell was pronounced dead on-scene by EMS. A pistol with a 13-round magazine was recovered.
