#officerinvolvedshooting #policebodycam Las Vegas, Nevada— Authorities released revealing body cam video and the cause of death Friday for an armed suspect in an officer-involved shooting on Tuesday near the Las Vegas strip. The shootout and subsequent stand-off situation, left two Metro Police officers shot and one injured.
The Clark County Coroner’s office said 25-year-old Miguel Salas died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Salas was the suspect named in the officer-involved shooting incident that happened Tuesday evening.
In the body cam video of the shooting, police asked Salas to step out of the truck and he refused.
“Step out of the car,” an officer is heard saying.
“Why do you need me to step out of my car?” Salas said. “I’m not doing nothing!”
“Yes, you are. You’re not listening to our command. Do you want to get tased?” the officer said.
In the video, an officer holds Salas’ left wrist as he argued with the police. In a split second, Salas grabs a gun and starts firing at police. Officers run for cover and fire back at Salas.
“Shots fired! I’ve been hit! Shots fired, I’ve been hit!” Metro Police Officer Richard Nelson is heard yelling.
Police said units originally responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle, that was connected to a report of a stolen cell phone, parked in front of a business in the 4100 block of West Tompkins Avenue at 4:15 p.m.
According to Metro Police Sgt. Jeff Clark, as officers approached the vehicle, the suspect opened fire and struck two officers from inside the vehicle.
Officer Richard Nelson, 33, was wearing a bullet proof vest when he was hit in the lower left chest area and subsequently transported to University Medical Center. Nelson has four children and his parents and fiance were at the hospital while he was treated.
Sgt. Clark updated the situation and reported Officer Nelson “was okay” after the incident.
The other officer, who has not been identified, was also hit, but his uniform belt kept him from suffering any wounds, police said.
“It doesn’t matter what area this happens in, everybody comes together and supports each other (in times like these),” Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
Officer Nelson has been employed with the department since April 2009. He has been placed on routine paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a review of this incident.
Metro Assistant Sheriff Tom Roberts briefed the media Friday afternoon, said he spoke to both officers involved in the shooting and both are “doing well.”
A bystander also recorded the incident.

Hero cop for sureâ¤ï¸
DOA
Why would you even try and pull a gun in such a disadvantaged position? Especially over what would’ve just been a misdemeanor charge? These criminals are just dumb.
Oh those South American Indians.
Where's Donald when you need him?

Nice neighborhood the civilian is filming it through barbed wire
Police can't do that, just investigate someone just because they're around, they're free to be around, that's what freedom about; you can't touch people's property and open the door and grab the guy, that's authoritarianism; only if you have probable cause and not just because you like so; you should say we're investigating for this probable cause according to Law, this is a lawful order. Fellow Latino goes to the US or descendant of Latinos, for a better life and what the fuking idiot does? be a career criminal, I'm glad he's dead
mexicano tenÃa que ser bien echo por los policÃas
i think Officer Nelson needs to quit eating so many donuts!.
They gave him waaay too many chances!.. after the third or fourth time of "step out"…taaaze!!
"Get inside" – doesn't open door.
You know that guy's a big brother to some poor, tortured soul…
the second cop had to stay in the right side
Cops wasted so much time begging him to get out of the car. Kinda not sure why?
Guess these cops should learn to quit messing w people for no reason!!
I F**** HATE cops!! It brings me joy when one gets taken out
Beansâ¹
What alternative was this guy hoping to avoid? A Life Sentence in prison?
That guy only had 3 bullets!! Which is good for the cops because who knows how many more he could of hit them with
Heavens above, that cop is overweight, in our country he would not allowed to work unless losing the fat
Sorry to see cop shot, it was obvious this guy had a gun. Open the fucking door !!!!to the other cop 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for taking out the trash gentlemen. Stay hard.
How many times is a cop supposed to threaten the use of a taser gun on someone Before he actually does it? I would think one time and then if the criminal doesn’t follow command you hit him with the taser. Why is that so hard?
This fool got what he deserved. Happy the officer is now ok. Good job guys. 👌
The guy in the window is still saying wtfudge till this day 😆

Lucky the one officer re engages …. Must be hard in the moment
In those situations cops can't take 1/4th second of attention away from watching his every move
8:34 that fat cop did a good job, yet it seems like the shot that hit the driver's head was one of his last ones shot from 'the hip'
Im glad the cops are ok
When ever anybody says I swear to God I'm not doing nothing…means there doing something
Was he shot by his partner in the cross fire? I don’t see the suspect turning & shooting towards the back of the truck.
another mexican
the cop went into shock when the adrenaline started to wear off.
I hope they are ok and that’s anybody fatally injured 🤕
