Police release bodycam footage of officer-involved shooting in Austin

Austin police said the suspect was shot by police after jumping in a victim's vehicle and telling them to drive off.

AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Police Department has released body and dash cam video from an officer-involved shooting in Northeast Austin earlier this month.

APD says a traffic stop turned into an attempted carjacking, then an officer-involved shooting within minutes. At around 11:15 p.m. on August 8, APD says one of its officers was conducting a traffic stop at US 290 and Cameron Road for a motorcyclist operating a vehicle without a license plate.

The suspect then ran toward a shopping center, got into a parked car, and tried to carjack the vehicle, telling the driver to back out.

The driver of the vehicle got out uninjured, but the officer and a DPS trooper both fired at the suspect, hitting him. He was taken to the hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries.
