A shaky cellphone video obtained by the broadcaster shows the seconds before the shooting. On it, two police officers are shown with their guns drawn, yelling “don’t do it” and “hands up.” A man can then be seen rounding the corner of the apartment building, shots ring out and the video ends.

Police said the officers who shot Pinke both have more than 20 years of experience. They’ve been placed on paid leave while the shooting is investigated by the department and Dallas County prosecutors.
