Adams County, Colorado — On Friday, July 14, 2023, around 12:16 a.m., a deputy self-dispatched at the Lakeside Motel located 6251 Federal Blvd.. According to Adams County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO), this was a self-initiated response by the deputy. There was no 911 call. Surveillance footage from the motel, shows 35-year-old Mario Ortega backing into a parking spot outside the motel. A woman is seen leaving his SUV. An Adams County deputy pulls up in front of the car, immediately pulling out his gun as he exits his patrol SUV. He appears to confront Ortega briefly behind the car. The video shows Ortega backing away from the deputy, holding a gun to his head. Then the deputy shoots him. The deputy then takes cover himself, calling for backup. After the shooting, the deputy and medical personnel treated Ortega who was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. Ortega’s family said that he had a criminal history, but was starting his life over in Greeley. They plan to file a civil lawsuit. The deputy involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave.

Family looking for that ghetto lottery!!!! 😂😂😂
I love when idiots try to hold themselves hostage, like the police actually care. All you are doing is proving to them that you are armed, and that you are erratic and reckless.
Stay with me is not what your bullets said…
always very strange to see a dying or dead being handcuffed…
He should have been shot just for parking where he did. That’s not a spot. Plus how can that car get out? Be nice if all these Mexican sounding names if we could know if they are illegals.
If you slow it down he pulls holster off and goes to put gun back to his own head
This guy was stupid and is in the wrong but was this necessary yes you have to prepare for worst case but at no point was that gun aimed at the policemen and the 4 shots and the comments just think this is normal and OK.. you guys over in America are off your rocker
Reading the comments always crack me up. Civil law suits don’t need beyond a reasonable doubt so it’s very easy to win and it’s very likely this department will give his family that didn’t care about him 5-20 million dollars just to shut them up.
i guess the cop wanted to do it for him?
hard job
Good job, cop didn't waste any time shooting the hostage taker so he couldn't hurt the hostage……oh wait.
Perfect – GET SCUMS OFF OUR STREETS!
Greely isn't a place where anyone turns their life around.
The deputy should be charged with murder. Period!!! He never pointed the gun at the deputy. Clean case of murder by the deputy!!!!
Law suit is frivilous. Jury will scquit. Police can sue family. Nobody wins when prople die.
3:30 what is that xd its only for the camera xd
This cop is well trsined and makes good choices in my opinion.
The question needs to be asked, what did he do that the deputy felt the need to self dispatch? It doesn't mention anything in the description. That's probably going to be the focus of the lawsuit. If the deputy can't prove that the self dispatch was lawful, then every event after that is moot.
2:11 Holding himself hostage? Not the brightest brick in the bidet, is he?
Turning his life around? Not with a gun he's not. Idiots. Idiots and a§holes. (…smh…)
Getting on the fuccing ground don't sound so bad now does it
He's doing chest compressions making him bleed more and hemmorage
Why do you back in
To keep from your license plate being read
Ah yes, having a gun in your sweater's pocket and pulling it out while being detained is called "turning your life around"
The guy pulled out a gun for one of two reasons: He was going to shoot the cop…or was going to shoot himself. Either way, the family should shove their civil lawsuit up their asses.
Of course they are planning to file a lawsuit. Classic American judical cash-grab
The guy is dying and the fucken cop is still handcuffing him what a pig
Brave brave Man
Someone got trigger happy
The cop saw him aiming it at his own head and said "fuck that, you're not taking my kill!"
Total waste of tax dollars, they wont win. Baddy even racks the gun so….
Gun to your head? Let me help with that.
Is the police officer doing CPR on the man while he's still breathing?
MORE NUTTERS PER SQ MILE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET(USA) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sound people do when they're drying….almost like the sound of their soul leaving 😬
Literally zero point giving CPR when the dude took one or two shots to the chest, nobody can survive a sucking chest wound before EMS gets there, survival rate for that is like 2% hah
That’s called a Polish standoff.
