Mesquite, Texas — On December 14, 2023, at approximately 2:57 a.m., Texas State Police were patrolling the area of Cartwright road and Edwards Church road. A stolen Hyundai sedan was found at Cartwright Road and Faithon P Lucas Sr. Boulevard. Both vehicles were then parked at a nearby 7-Eleven gas station just after 3:00 a.m. Police found the Hyundai empty. With four people inside the Chrysler, the driver of the Chrysler, 19-year-old Payton Lawrence, was then ordered to turn off the vehicle and stop. But Lawrence continued to “sneak around in the car,” and police then shot him three times. Lawrence was later pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people in the Chrysler were questioned and released. The third, 19-year-old Kevon Moore of Dallas, was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Authorities were unable to find the other two men who fled. Police later found multiple firearms in the Chrysler.

There were two weeks of riots in France for the same story few months ago.
I don't understand why all that context in the description isn't in the video.
This cop gonna be in trouble
Unjustified shooting til you see their weapons they would have used in a drive by shortly after
They had a draco on the floor in the passengers side.
Thieves. Should've left that gangster behaviour on GTA 5… GTA 6 is almost on the way. Now you cant play GTA 6 in hell or in jail.
I feel bad for his mother
That cop need to go to jail
Choose your friends wisely.
I’m sorry in my opinion this shoot was not legit.. yes this kid was a dumbass for not following instructions and just stopping and surrendering. BUT. This officer was clearly standing in front of the car to bait an opportunity to shoot someone. He could have stepped to the side and got in his vehicle for a pursuit. Yes it’s a stolen vehicle.. but that’s a property crime under the law. The suspect posed no immediate threat to his life. He stood in front of the car unnecessarily. I don’t think this needed to happen regardless if firearms were in the vehicle. They were not brandished and the officer did not know about them.
I bet you the guys in the backseat were saying “just leave bro just leave he won’t shoot youâ€
B people have real problems with the English language. "Do not move" and "Stop" to them means Keep moving and Run away.
Another cop that put himslef in the line of danger to justify a murder. Maybe move out the way and you wont get ran over? Hmm…
I wish LAPD would act the same way.
1:36 Kind of looks like an AK style rifle on the pass floorboard.
Basketball Americans at it again
of course you shouldnt steal cars or be non-compliant with officers but moving infront of the car as hes reversing didnt make the officer any safer.
0:44 I just realized this cop has a Ramjet afterburner on his Glock. I didn't know cops could modify their service weapons. Pretty cool, just something I noticed.
I don’t know about this one, he didn’t drive forward
Why do y’all say, “ A 19 year oldâ€!!! He’s a GROWN freaking man!!!
I was asking myself "why do these people fail to follow simple commands?" the simple answer is that they choose not to. Choices, choices choices…
"Black male – grey hoodie, black sweats – second Black male – black hoodie, black sweats" Damn he just put out an all points bulletin for every black male male in America. 😅
He had over 10 chances to cooperate
That was murder… 🤔💯🤯🤔💯🤯 That wasn't justifiable. 🤔🤔🤔💯💯💯ðŸ‘👠Putting your leg in front of a vehicle doesn't make it a justifiable shooting. 🤔🤔🤔
Genius level move by the c_o_p.
Don't ask why I put underscores in that last word. Apparently you aren't allowed to use it in comments on this channel lol
Holy shit
3 and out
Now everyone wants to cooperate.
It's become cool to resist… until it's not.
Someone who is working their butt off at a job they hate NEEDED their car to get to work and this baby mama spawn STEALS their only way to get to work and make an honest living. No fathers in the story. Just EBT baby mamas making more criminals.
These are children!!! Why were they shot at?? Why?
Not justified within some agencies. The fact that he out his self in harms way by standing in front of the car. That's a no go and a perfect recipe for a criminal and civil cause. Did he get fired or reprimanded for this?
Its infuriating that these people are trying to run from lawful commands despite knowing it.
I don’t think he was shot for not turning off car, but for moving toward the cop with a 3,000 pound weapon.
