TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – Video of a fatal officer-involved shooting in Tucson in April has been released.<\/p>\n

On Friday, June 12, the Pima Regional Critical Incident Team said the officer-involved shooting happened near South Park Avenue and East 36th Street.<\/p>\n

The TPD said officers were called to the area around 7:45 p.m. on April 10 because Luis Francisco Torres was armed with a knife and was acting erratically.<\/p>\n

The PRICT video report can be watched in the player below.<\/p>\n

Witnesses called 911 and said the 65-year-old Torres was \u201cacting paranoid,\u201d and officers said he was agitated and pacing near community members.<\/p>\n

Officers ordered Torres to drop the knife and then used pepper balls and a taser several times when he ignored the commands.<\/p>\n

Torres eventually fell down into a \u201cseated position\u201d against a fence. He put the knife in his lap, but allegedly picked it up again when officers approached.<\/p>\n

That is when Officer Reyna Flores, a four-year veteran of the Tucson Police Department, shot Torres. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.<\/p>\n

No one else was hurt in the incident.<\/p>\n

The Pima Regional Critical Incident Team, or PRCIT, was activated to handle the criminal investigation of this incident. <\/p>\n

The Oro Valley Police Department was the lead agency for the PRCIT investigation, while the TPD conducted a separate investigation to determine if any policy violations occurred.<\/p>\n

As is standard practice in all officer-involved shootings, all findings will be forwarded to the Pima County Attorney\u2019s Office for review once the investigation is complete.<\/p>\n
