<\/p>\nBodycam footage released in Sacramento County deputy shooting of man in February<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Newly released bodycam footage<\/a> shows the events that led to Sacramento County deputies shooting a man<\/a> during a traffic stop earlier this year. <\/p>\n The Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office said the shooting happened on Feb. 16 when deputies spotted a car on Elk Grove Florin Road that was linked to a shooting the day before. In that earlier case, the victim reported someone had shot at him, hitting his car with gunfire, though he was not injured. <\/p>\n Deputies confirmed the license plate number of the suspect vehicle, which was associated with 45-year-old Tywain Smith. Smith also matched a description of the suspect, the sheriff’s office said. <\/p>\n On the following day, two deputies pulled over Smith near Tiogawoods Drive. Video footage showed a deputy telling the driver, identified as Smith, that the car’s registration was expired. The man said that it was his “girl’s car.” <\/p>\n The sheriff\u2019s office has said deputies saw a gun in Smith\u2019s waistband. The video footage showed that as deputies were telling the driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel, one yelled “gun’s in his pants.” <\/p>\n “I ain’t touching nothing,” he replied.<\/p>\n Smith repeatedly denied that he had a weapon on his hip and asked to step out of the car, the video footage shows. <\/p>\n Deputies removed him from the car and attempted to handcuff him but Smith broke free and tried to run away. <\/p>\n Deputies have said Smith pulled a gun from his waistband while running, and that\u2019s when both deputies fired their weapons at him. <\/p>\n The video shows Smith running away from the deputies while appearing to reach for the weapon. <\/p>\n One deputy fired two rounds and the other three, the sheriff’s office said. Police have not said how many times he was shot. <\/p>\n The sheriff’s office said deputies administered first aid before Smith was taken to the hospital for treatment. He was later booked into jail. Neither deputy was injured during the incident. <\/p>\n The sheriff\u2019s office said they recovered Smith’s loaded handgun at the scene. He did not fire his weapon at deputies, the sheriff’s office confirmed. <\/p>\n Both deputies involved were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.<\/p>\n –Daniel Macht contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bodycam footage released in Sacramento County deputy shooting of man in February Newly released bodycam footage shows the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[166,12145,121,123,122,135],"class_list":["post-428175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-county","tag-deputies","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news","tag-shooting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
