The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has released officer-worn body camera footage of a deputy shooting a man who allegedly charged them with a knife in the Azusa area on May 20.
The shooting happened after officers responded to reports of an attempted suicide at a home on the 5500 block of North Orangecrest Avenue in an unincorporated area near Azusa around 3:30 p.m.
When deputies arrived, the man, identified as 38-year-old Dilen Flamino, allegedly charged at the nearest deputy with a 3-inch knife. Deputies were armed with a taser and 12-gauge beanbag gun, but were down the street from the deputy that Flamino is seen rushing toward in the video. The deputy called for his partners to bring in the beanbag gun, but resorted to firing his handgun at Flamino during the sudden attack.
“He’s coming up guys,” the deputy is heard saying in the video before opening fire. “Bring the stunbag! Stunbag!”
