In Daniel Shaver’s final moments, he was heard pleading for his life - sobbing and saying to police officers, “Please don’t shoot me.”
Shortly afterward, Shaver was shot and killed by one of them, according to an investigation report from the Mesa Police Department in Mesa, Arizona.
In January, authorities said former officer Philip “Mitch” Brailsford fatally shot Shaver after responding to a call about a suspect with a gun. He has been charged with second-degree murder and fired from the force.
On Tuesday, authorities released a report detailing witness testimony as well as audio and video footage from a body camera that suggests an unarmed and intoxicated Shaver was begging to be spared.
Body camera footage shows that during the confrontation with police, Shaver was on the ground with his hands extended above his head.
An officer told Shaver to crawl toward them.
Sobbing, he said, “Yes, sir,” and started to move.
Brailsford then fired five shots.
Shaver, 26, was pronounced dead at the scene.
