Overview
- COPA on Nov. 5 published body-worn and dashcam videos along with related documents from the Sept. 6 incident in Austin.
- Footage shows two squad cars boxing in a vehicle before the shooting officer moves behind it and fires about 11 rounds through the rear window.
- Police said the vehicle struck squad cars, and a CPD traffic crash report asserts the driver intentionally reversed, pinning an officer between vehicles.
- The person shot, identified in police reports as Aiden English, was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead.
- A second suspect was arrested, a third fled and discarded a gun that officers recovered, and two officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries as involved officers were placed on administrative duties during COPA’s ongoing investigation.
