Charlotte, North Carolina – Two CMPD officers will not face charges for a March shooting that killed a man armed with shotgun that may have been experiencing a mental episode. District Attorney Andrew Murray released a 175 page report Thursday detailing his offices findings in the death of Iarsalov Mosiiuk. The release coincided with a previously scheduled hearing where Mosiiuk’s family and social action group, Safe Coalition, requested the release of the body camera footage from the two officers involved. “We would like the full un-redacted copy of the body worn camera,” said Lauren Newton, attorney for Mosiiuk’s family. Mosiiuk’s sister, Oleysa Tabaka sat behind her attorney in the courtroom. Tabaka has viewed the footage, but said it is important that is released to the public. “We’d like everyone to keep in mind that at the end of the day this was a mental health call, and if this is the way that mental health calls are handled, people will be afraid to call the police,” said Newton. Tabaka said she called 911 for help after her brother threatened to kill himself and had gotten a hold of her fiance’s gun.
According to the DA’s report, Tabaka screamed at responding officers, “please don’t shoot him,†“don’t kill him,†“he’s just being crazy.†The investigation later determined the gun was loaded, but missing a bolt, rendering it inoperable. However, Michael Greene, the attorney representing Officer Brian Walsh, says his client had no choice but to fire what would be the fatal shot. “That gun doesn’t have mental health issues, the person may have but he still has a firearm and if the family knew that my question would be why didn’t they secure the weapon,” he said. The DA’s report included images from Officer Walsh’s body cam. A person can be seen in the distance. Investigators say it was Mosiiuk with a long gun pointed at Walsh’s partner, Officer Michael Dezenzo. ‘He sees the deceased in an actual shooting position with the gun pointed towards his partner,” said District Attorney Murray. “Him making sure that he neutralized the threat to protect his partner and the civilians and himself. A long gun that size would go through a vehicle quickly,” he declared. The end of the criminal case, cleared the way for the release of the video to both the family and Safe Coalition.
CMPD says it will release the video also. “It there’s no longer a pending investigation we will not object to release,” said CMPD attorney Jessica Battle. Internal investigations are still pending. CMPD has not said if either responding officer received crisis intervention training to address mental health calls. However, Officer Dezenso’s attorney, Daniel Roberts says his client, a 16-year veteran with CMPD is looking forward to continuing his career with the department. Roberts also says the video will show that Officer Walsh saved his client’s life. “Mike Dezenso was very eager for the video being released so it could be shown what Officer Walsh did for him,” he said. However, Mosiiuk’s family says a call for help, didn’t have to end like this. “Why this was handled the way it was when it was a mental health call to begin with,” Newton declared.

Cops are out for kill boners. They get off on pulling that trigger, Do Not call the police unless you life is in danger from a violent criminal.
Nice shot
When a person is having a mental health crisis under no circumstances do you call the police! They will just end up killing them and call it justified.
The fam said “why did it need to go this way .
BECAUSE HE HAD A GUN IDIOT
Eminem approves that one shot
Omw, they push her poop back at 3:35 😂😂😂😂😂
Taking cover behind a canvas lawnchair
Bullets are like T-rexes. If they can't see you, they can't hit you.
Good accurate… here in France, this is impossible..
Damn, he fell down like the characters in GTA when they get shot lol
6:30 that's the ringtone I have for my ex-wife
Another parent of the century award
That officer loves what he does
My friend on fortnite 😂:
Its a fact CMPD has the most elite police force
4:35 – Officer #1 – You guys handcuff him (the suspect laying motionless in the driveway after being shot)
7:15 – After officer #1 searches the house and returns to the driveway, other officers is ask, "Where's your guy?"
Really?? I love and support cops 100%, but this is the most questionable police video I've seen, I think ever. Next thing you know, they're doing CPR on the suspect and the officer that just told his wife he shot someone tells the FOP/supervisor he didn't pull. Maybe the video is incomplete? Don't understand this video AT ALL!
Really nice shot by the officer, And…Super cool of the tough guy Perp to piss all over himself when he decided to exit this world. Classy to the end.
What a shot!
The dude pissed himself. 💦
1 less idiot, millions to go, one bullet one kill…… liberals take note, you are expendable
I don't consider myself an 'expert shot' when it comes to handguns, but I've shot thousands of rounds over the years, and AM a pretty good shot. This officer made an extremely difficult shot under any circumstances, let alone: 1. Just sprinted 40 yards and dealt with bystander along the way. 2. Shot UPHILL 3. Cleared background prior to trigger pull 4. Calculated Cross Fire possibility 5. Verified threat was critical enough to justify taking the shot THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A SHOT !!!!!!
"Justice Avenue" you can´t even make that shit up.
Hulluvah warning shot
how LOW Can you COPS Get' Slapping the CUFFS on a Dead Body' you Clowns Should be Ashamed of Yourselves…
Everyone – watching to whole video
Me – “Wow what a shot!†1:30
Would someone please pepper spray her so she can have something to do? Jesus Christ how annoying.
Medical? He is dead no medical can fix that
Please don't shoot him…… too late beautiful shot too when down like a deer
North Carolina s the best I have been in nc for 8 years planning on joining CMPD in a couple years
Somebody knock that stupid bitch the fuck out
Nice shot? Stationary target, with his back turned. Might as well shoot at a tree.
I'm from north carolina
mental health calls with a social worker mean more dead social workers.
what foo foo juice is?
Damn that was an impressive shot! This officer had adrenalinn pumping, just got done running probably 20 – 30 yards at full Sprint and a panicking woman screaming in his ear…. one shot one drop.
I legit come back to this video every time I want to show someone why practice is important
Usjw
That one tap was so clean.
You know for a fact he puts in his range time
Good job
3:35 how to deal with interfering people
God allowed man to invent the "BITCH SLAP" for a reason. So many abuse it, but this is one case where I would have turned to my side and cold cocked that lady so hard in the face it probably would have broken her fucking neck. These people are absolutely insane and they deserve to be treated as such… "He had a psychotic breakdown". Welp, all the more reason to unload the rest of the clip into his demon possessed psychotic ass.
That was a great shot!
nice too see good tactics and training in action by those cops. great job.
This man was willing to do ANYTHING to get away from that woman. I don't blame him.
STFU BITCH, damn man, it should be legal to shoot the screaming bitches that are in most of these videos.
Damn, he fell down like the characters in GTA when they get shot lol
