The Austin Police Department released body camera footage and police audio related to a deadly officer-involved shooting that happened on Sept. 10 in North Austin.

A man, identified as Franklin Earl Miller, was killed in the incident after being shot by multiple APD officers.

According to APD, they received a top priority “prowler” call around 11 p.m. about an armed man trying to break into a business on West Anderson Lane near Lamar Boulevard.

The 911 caller said Miller was trying to get into her business by pulling on the doors. She told police she was watching on security cameras and saw Miller with a gun in his waistband and holding a rock.

APD said officers on the scene spent 14 minutes trying to deescalate the situation. According to the department, Miller placed his hand near his waistband and did not respond to commands to put his hands up. Police said throughout the interaction with officers, Miller “made sudden and exaggerated movements.”

Around 11:25 p.m., Miller allegedly raised the gun he was holding in the direction of officers. Five officers opened fire, while a sixth officer used a less-lethal pepper ball.
