Salt Lake City, Utah — The Salt Lake City Police Department released body-worn camera footage of the officer-involved critical incident that occurred on June 10, 2021. At 8:36 a.m. SLC911 received a call from a witness indicating a woman had been stabbed at Pioneer Park. The witness indicated the woman had serious injuries to her arm and stomach and was bleeding heavily. SLC Fire arrived at 8:44 a.m. Due to the severity of the woman’s injuries, SLC Fire immediately began life saving efforts instead of waiting for police to arrive.
Two SLCPD officers were dispatched on an agency assist for SLC Fire at 8:43 a.m. Both arrived at 8:46 a.m. As the officers approached the scene, witnesses and SLC Fire personnel pointed out a possible suspect who was still in Pioneer Park. The two officers walked towards the male. Almost immediately the male, who had been sitting by a tree, stood up. One of the officers saw the male had a knife in his hand and told the second officer he could see a knife. The male slowly walked towards the first officer, who was giving commands to “drop the knifeâ€.
The officers stopped walking towards the male, and instead backed up. After the third command to drop the knife the first officer told the second officer, ‘Taser!’. As soon as the first officer said this, the suspect sprinted towards the second officer. The officers continued to give verbal commands to “drop itâ€, “drop the knife†and “stopâ€. The male continued running towards the second officer with the knife in his right hand. Both officers fired their handguns at the male. The subject was shot and then fell to the ground within a few feet of the second officer who tripped and fell.
The subject still had the knife in his right hand. After several commands to drop the knife, he eventually let go of it. An officer placed one of the male’s wrists into handcuffs and put him into a recovery position. The officers never fully handcuffed the male. Officers attempted to communicate with the male to find out where he was hurt. Officers immediately requested medical assistance over the radio, and less than two minutes later SLC Fire paramedics, who were on scene treating the stabbing victim, came to render medical aid to the male. The man was later identified as Rezek Yaqub Yahya, 39.

Did he or the victim survive ?
Got what he deserved …
Holy crap, I was worried about his partner and crossfire.
"C'mon dude, where you hit? I wanna help you."
Judging from the way dude's legs gave out, I'm thinking somewhere in the spine.🤔
"I wanna help you" after shooting him like 6 times LOL he dead
“ he was my hero†lechina james
This officer saved his partner's life. That was a very difficult shot as the suspect was running right to left, with his partner in the background (slight pucker factor at the end).
…."AH! …. bleeds out … "bury me with my cuck muzzle" *dies*.
That poor victim… all he did was try to kill a cop… and they shot him for it… ðŸ˜
The thumbnail is hilarious.
How is it that less than 2 minutes EMT's were there? There were EMT's literally 27ft away!
Officer: Tell us where you are hit. Dude: In the dead bone.
You can see he is smart by his mask. Safety first
at least he wore a mask unlike some idiots.

Only 2 inches deep and the police won't let me; Le Bra James.
The thumbnail looks like he’s Superman about to tackle the officer
Choir boy down! Choir boy down!
Wow. Horrible situation to be put in. Crazy how much blood was in the mask. He was definitely hit in a vital organ
The purge has begun
Taser?……..that would have been another injured/killed cop……..great shoot
Ready for another riot/mostly peaceful protests?
lol "sir please talk to me!"
Looks like a solid neck spine shot to me.
Instantly losing leg control, blood in neck area.
With all that blood on the mask at 3:31 I'm guessing he got SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAAAAME.
