The Austin Police Department released bodycam video from a deadly shooting involving officers during a stabbing attack at an apartment complex in North Austin in late May.

It happened on Monday, May 27 at around 1:34 a.m. at the San Paloma Apartments located at 12501 Tech Ridge Boulevard.

Police say they responded to reports of a man and a woman arguing, sounds of glass shattering, and objects being thrown.

Bodycam video shows officers knocking on the door and after hearing sounds of disturbance, they start to break down the door.

The video then cuts off as they enter, but once inside, officers saw a man later identified as 49-year-old Ensel Maclare-Urgelles stabbing a woman with a knife.

To protect the woman's life, Officer Cody Shulz fired his gun, hitting Maclare-Urgelles. Urgelles was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The victim was rushed to the hospital with multiple stab wounds, where she was treated for life-threatening injuries and has since been released.
