Greensboro, North Carolina — On June 30, 2023, at approximately 9:55 p.m., Greensboro Police officers were dispatched to the area of Creek Ridge Road and Randleman Road in Greensboro, after receiving multiple 911 calls regarding someone armed with a machete and a knife. Officers arrived in the area and encountered Ernesto Ruiz walking with a machete in one hand and a knife in the other. They ordered him to drop the weapons and Ruiz began to flee on foot, not complying with commands. Officers continued to give commands in English and in Spanish, using non-lethal options such as pepper spray, tasers, and foam rounds. Those attempts were ineffective and officers continued to follow Ruiz and issue commands for approximately 1 mile.
Officers realized they were approaching the intersection of Randleman and Creek Ridge roads, an area with several restaurants and convenience stores open to the public. As they approached Family Fare Convenience store and BP gas station at 2600 Randleman Road, multiple officers were in pursuit of Ruiz, who was still armed with the machete and knife. Residents were in the area as officers began to surround and contain Ruiz. Commands were given for him to drop the weapons. Ruiz moved toward officers with the machete raised in one hand in a threatening manner while still armed with a knife in his other hand. Ruiz moved toward officers in a threatening manner raising the machete with a knife in his other hand.
Officers Greene and Kirkland and Sgt. Muldowney, who were attempting to surround Ruiz to contain him, discharged their department-issued firearms, striking Ruiz multiple times. Officers handcuffed Ruiz and began life-saving measures. Ruiz was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. On June 30, 2023, Officers Greene and Kirkland and Sgt. Muldowney were placed on administrative duty while the SBI conducted its investigation and while awaiting the District Attorney’s decision. On February 26, 2024, the District Attorney determined that the officers’ actions were justified by both the common law principles of self-defense and also by the NC General Statute 15A-401 which permits the use of deadly force by a law enforcement officer to defend himself or another from what he reasonably believes to be the imminent use of deadly force.

I’m starting to think that a few of these “newcomers†are up to no good…..
David goggins dat you
one of Biden's new voters apparently
Did anyone else start hearing Benny Hill music at about half way in?
hey imagine you almost made a 2 hour movie with this scene lolll
Todo Bien
There is an old saying “ You can run but you will die tiredâ€.
I didn't see him raise 11:20 his knife and run towards the officers. But I still can understand why they needed to stop him.
Don’t bring a MY CHAD DEE to a gun fight
another lovely import
Must be illegal to run with knives…
I'm out of breath and I was only watching the video
And the media STILL wanna tell people….
Police Officers want to “ AUTOMATICALLY “ kill citizens.
NOW ! How many times did they taze this man ? I’LL WAIT.
ALSO….. TASERS DON’T 100 % of the time WORK !
In albuquerque we have illegals walking around with unsheathed MACHETES hanging over/or under their backsacks….you see them crossing walmart, home depot parklots and hanging around intersections. Who or What are they expecting to "chop and/or hack down"???????
Keystone cops.
Took the DA almost a full year to determine it was a clean shoot? Was he not able to view the bodycams? We're his VCRs not working? His computers? His dvd player? Was his sign language interpreter on maternity leave? Did his flame go out of his smoke signal pit? Did he lose his crayons? A full year while these officers (who did everything in their power not to kill him) sweated his decision? Dumbazz DA
Chased him waaaaay too long
he's me in gta when i get 1 star
So once this becomes a deadly force situation why get out of your car when you can simply hit him with your car?
he thought that 1 star would disappear after enough running but it turned into 2
Damn I thought this was the 500-meter relay in the Olympics.
