Bodycam Footage Of Salt Lake City Police Shooting Abdi Mohamed

The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office has released police body camera footage (above) of the February 2016 police shooting of a 17-year-old boy Abdullahi "Abdi" Mohamed. According to the District Attorney's Office's findings from the officer-involved critical incident investigation, two Salt Lake City officers were investigating a report of a stolen cellphone when they saw what looked like a person hitting another person with "a long slender object like a pipe or a pole." As officers got closer, they saw it appeared to be two males holding long, metal objects "at least one of whom was hitting a man with the pipe or pole," the officer-involved critical incident report said. Police commanded them both to stop and drop their weapons, but Mohamed is accused of ignoring the officers' commands and continuing to pursue the alleged victim.
