Mesquite Police released videos Friday of a shooting involving an officer that killed a 16-year-old boy on Aug. 11.
In a recorded statement released Aug. 18, Mesquite Police Public Information Officer Aaron Paredes shared an edited video from the officer's dash camera and body camera that showed a short chase with a driver and the eventual shooting.
Police said the driver refused to stop and began driving erratically with speeds nearing 100 mph. During a short chase, police said the driver hit multiple vehicles and a road sign before stopping in a residential front yard. The teen moved back toward the front door, unlocked the back door and then opened the back door of the SUV.
When the driver reached into the back of the vehicle, the officer fired five times and the teen can be seen falling backward.
