LIVE: US Police Body Cam Footage Released: How Cops Shot Autistic Teen With Knife| Idaho
Police in Idaho released body-worn and security camera recordings Thursday showing officers fatally shooting a knife-wielding, intellectually disabled teenage boy from the other side of a chain link fence, confirming that they made no effort to de-escalate the situation before opening fire.
Victor Perez was autistic and nonverbal and had cerebral palsy, though there is no indication the responding officers were aware of that.
The 17-year old was removed from life support and died in a hospital a week after the shooting, and a law firm said Wednesday it intends to file a federal wrongful death suit against the city of Pocatello on behalf of his family.
