The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office has released more details about a fatal officer-involved shooting outside of the Fort Morgan Walmart involving a man wanted for stabbing his aunt and cousin to death in New Mexico. Dustin Montano, 31, was leaving the store at 13000 Barlow Road at about 8 a.m. on May 24 when he was confronted and shot seven times by the Morgan County sheriff and undersheriff. He died on May 25 after being flown by helicopter to Medical Center of the Rockies for care. Leading up to the shooting, the sheriff’s office had received information about a stolen red Volkswagen Jetta driven by Montano that was possibly traveling to the Fort Morgan area. A short time later, dispatchers received information that the suspect’s cell phone had been pinged at locations in Morgan County. At about 7:30 a.m., the Jetta was found parked and empty at Walmart.
Deputy Steve Berlanga parked a short distance away in his marked car to monitor the vehicle, while Undersheriff Dave Martin parked nearby in an unmarked vehicle with a clear view of the Jetta. Sheriff Jim Crone, also in an unmarked car, parked on the south side of the building where the view of the Jetta was limited, the sheriff’s office said. At some point, the decision was made between Undersheriff Martin and Sheriff Crone to try to arrest Montano when he returned to the car. Undersheriff Martin was the first to spot Montano walking back to the Jetta. Deputies say he was carrying a grocery bag in his hand, but no weapon was visible. Undersheriff Martin started driving toward the driver’s side of the car, while Sheriff Crone drove up to the rear and parked behind the Jetta.
CSP Trooper Ryan Eldridge, Cpl. Ken Nelson and Deputy Berlanga followed nearby and pulled up facing the car near Undersheriff Martin, the sheriff’s office said. While Montano was still outside of the vehicle, Undersheriff Martin and Sheriff Crone got out of their vehicles and identified themselves as “police officers” and yelled “don’t move” at Montano, according to the sheriff’s office. Montano then got into the Jetta, slammed the door and started directing his attention to the front passenger seat area – leading Sheriff Crone to believe Montano would start the car and ram his patrol vehicle in an attempt to escape, the sheriff’s office said. Seconds later, the driver’s door to the Jetta flew open and Montano began to leave the car. The sheriff’s office said the suspect’s right hand came out of the car first, and both Undersheriff Martin and Sheriff Crone believed he was holding what appeared to be a handgun.
That’s when Undersheriff Martin and Sheriff Crone fired multiple shots at the suspect who then fell to the ground. In total, seven of the eight rounds fired hit Montano, and the other bullet hit the Jetta, the sheriff’s office said. Despite several surgeries, Montano died from his injuries. The object in Montano’s hand fell to the pavement and was discovered to be a black lock-blade knife with the blade open. Hours before Montano was shot, Albuquerque police investigators determined that Montano had used that knife in the stabbing deaths of his 53-year-old aunt, Debra Martinez and her 17-year-old daughter, Irisa Montano.

People walking around in the background like, just another day at Walmart nothing to see here.
Some ballerina move their. 💃
I mean they probably didn't need to shoot him but also what was that moron thinking putting his hands up with the knife?
Alright Kyle all you have to do is hit them with the Michael Jackson smooth criminal spin move and you’ll be home free… let’s do this…. 😵
May God forgive me and I accept all bad words, but I can’t stop thinking about the song „let’s twist again“ after watching the last ten to fifteen seconds
I love how everyone in here is arguing that his previous crimes allow for him to be shot with his hands up. That's not how this works. It was a bad kill. We all know it. Do I lament his passing? No, but we can't let cops just go around killing people with their hands in the air.
Ima just start going to Walmart waiting in the parking lot for S$%# like this to pop off
They should do make that into a meme
I love this moves
Strange…. he did have the knives in hand but the second he opened the door the cop shot? No one said drop them… I call this one half/half… not a good shoot or a bad one…
РаÑÑтрел.
Was he dancing?
You'd never catch me dead at a Walmart.
this guy, otoh…
1:03 I'm pissed off dickhead he was trying to put his hands up
Imagine following orders and still being gunned down by a fucking pig with a grudge.
Hands up!
Hands are up
DROP IT
empty hands.
Bang bang murder.
Cinderella
Why was shooting in the situation? These cops are murderers!
Your clueless walking 50 pot
So tragic, think of the poor asphalt that has to have his filth all over.
What are you going when police chase you officer help stop doing
What are you doing police when you going chase you officer help stop police
"Hands up, don't move!!" Puts hands up but moves. Oops.
Man that guys a dead ballerina
He had no weapon here, and this is in fact a murder. However, I am actually 100% ok with this having the fact the double homicide was justified by death. You kill someone, you be killed. Good job police. Save the taxpayer.
this guy tried to deflect bullets like a Jedi 1:03
never seen a cop so fucking pussy he had to kill a guy over a knife
This is murderer by „Cops“. Most of the „great american hero cops“ are stupid fucking ash…
That's what you call the Walmart Waltz.
Not at the Walmart!
He had surrendered with his hands up without a weapon and is still being shot.
I would have it examined by a public prosecutor.
Dancing classes definitely added to his "form" but not his IQ or survival skills.
Look what I can do!!! Lol madtv rusty reference😂😂😂😂
Execution not detention..
"Don't move!"
"You say that now, but check these moves out son"
17 year old getting stabbed to death =(
So many deformed kids or retards in the comments lol…
This guy died although he placed his hands up, I know he had a knife in his hands which suggests he was kinda a psycho…
But let me explain to your tiny brains that he "danced" as many retarded people say, or moved like that after he has been shot, so after a person gets shots, depending where he gets hit, there are certain scenarios where the body of the victim become uncontrollable, plus the adrenaline keeps him alive doing random or quick moves without a logical sense… like a shot at the heart sometimes causes these, but also many other cases
Damn, dropped him, sad his last move was a pirouette
“KNIFE WILDING†looked like a cell phone to me and his hands are clearly up when he gets out lol wtf
He had his hands up. Why shoot him?
Dude got fucked up
For those who think the shooting is not justified, our nice little guy did not comply with officers command to not move and he did move with a knife in his hand……too bad.
Jetta GLI. I have one of those. I wonder if it was a manual or DSG.
Well that was a weird dance
Seemed happy. Dancing and all, good for him
New dance move called the "Got shot "
Police man is psych – in this time.
Oh shh*, 🕺ðŸ»ðŸ•ºðŸ»ðŸ•ºðŸ» it's the cops! Oh! Oohhh! Oh sh* 🕺ðŸ»ðŸ•ºðŸ•º
Can you get video from Rialto police department Rialto CA
he did the spin around like someone in red dead redemption
I thought that first shot was a bit premature but then noticed he does throw his hand out real quick at the same time and points (the knife) towards one of the cops. Didn't see that at all at first.
All you bleeding heart idiots need to go live in Venezuela or something.
He got time to get ready for his death.
His victims didn't get anything but terror and a hard death by knife.
And, he got out the car with a deadly weapon in his hand.
