Aurora, Colorado, law enforcement officials on Friday released the body cam video in the shooting of Jor'Dell Richardson, a 14-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police after allegedly robbing a convenience store earlier this month.
Before releasing the body camera video, however, Acevedo walked reporters through a timeline of the events leading up to the alleged robbery and the subsequent shooting by police.Timeline of eventsAt 4:17 p.m. on June 1, a sergeant with the police department called for backup after spotting a group teens in hoodies and medical masks walking to a convenience store in Aurora.
Another officer is then heard ordering Jor'Dell to"get on the ground or I'm going to Tase you," but Acevedo said Jor'Dell was not close enough to the Taser for it to take effect. "They made me do it. I don't know who they are but they made me do it," Jor'Dell is heard telling the officer. "That's part of the investigation. That's a little bit of the ambiguity – that's going to be the question that the investigation will continue ," Acevedo said, as he reassured the public that the investigation would be very comprehensive."We know for a fact that he used it to commit an armed robbery – there's no ambiguity there."
