DENVER – The Denver Police Department has released the bodycam video of the police shooting that left six bystanders injured in Lower Downtown on July 17.
In a critical incident briefing accompanying the bodycam footage, commander of the Denver Police Department’s Major Crimes Division, Matt Clark, said DPD officers were patrolling the area near 28th and Larimer Streets around 1:35 a.m. when they observed a fight between multiple people outside the Larimer Beer Hall.
Involved in that altercation was 21-year-old Jordan Waddy, who was captured on video shoving and punching a bystander outside the venue.
Clark claimed in the incident briefing released Tuesday that an officer who witnessed the assault “observed Mr. Waddy may have had a firearm concealed in his hoodie or waistband,” and the information was then communicated to the other officers in the area.
Police then flashed their flashlights and identified themselves as police officers to the crowd as they approached the sidewalk outside bar.
HALO video from the area shows Waddy turning back and walking onto the sidewalk before walking north on Larimer Street away from the officers and into the crowd.
At the same time, bodycam video shows the officers walking parallel to Waddy as he emerged from between two parked vehicles before he was contacted by officers.
In the video, Waddy can be seen with his hands up before turning back to the street and putting his left hand in his hoodie with his right hand still in the air. Clark claims officers then told Waddy to stop and show his hands.
“It appeared to the officers that Mr. Waddy was working to retrieve an item from the front pocket of his hoodie with his left hand as he continued moving towards 20th Street, which was in the direction of the crowd in front of the Beer Hall,” Clark said.
He then claims what he has repeated in the past – that Waddy had pulled a handgun out of his hoodie pocket and flashed the muzzle at two Denver police officers after they confronted him.
Bodycam video shows Waddy pulling the handgun from the lefthand side of his hoodie and throwing it onto the ground as he raises both hands into the air before police began firing at him from the front and the side.
“At this time, one officer on Larimer Street fired four rounds at Mr. Waddy from a duty handgun, and another officer fired two rounds at Mr. Waddy from a duty handgun,” Clark said.
