Raw bodycam video shows the fatal shooting of a suspect who took an officer's taser after struggle

The Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office (DASO) released bodycam video after a 37-year-old man died after an officer-involved shooting in Chaparral.

Jose Adrian Guzman, 37, had a history of 35 arrests ranging from disorderly conduct, domestic disturbance, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, trespassing, concealing identity, assault and resisting arrest, battery, and disorderly conduct.

The incident happened just after 2 p.m. on Monday, April 29 in Chaparral near Luna Azul and Prescott Anthony Dr.

911 call was placed about a suspicious person and a possible burglary in progress.

A deputy then made contact with Guzman on the 300 block of Prescott Anthony Drive and discovered that Guzman had a no-bond arrest warrant for disorderly conduct out of DASO.

The deputy attempted to arrest Guzman and a short pursuit ensued.

The deputy deployed his taser at Guzman multiple times. However, it was “ineffective.”

At one point, the deputy struggled with Guzman for several minutes after activating the taser. The taser was then placed on the ground.

Guzman then grabbed the tazer which was activated and held it in a manner that “he could deploy it,” Stewart said.

Guzman also pointed the taser at the deputy, which was “considered potential lethal force.”

The deputy made several calls for additional assistance. However, they were never heard.
