Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said the man killed in Saturday’s officer-involved shooting had grabbed the officer’s Taser.
Police released body camera footage Tuesday showing a struggle between the suspect Demontry Boyd, and officer Paul Bruning. Police said Boyd ignored officer Bruning’s commands.
Officer Bruning, 48, opened fire and shot Boyd Saturday morning in the 1700 block of Fremont Street, near Bruce Street, Metro confirmed.
Bruning has been employed with Metro since 2005. He is assigned to the Tourist Safety Division. Police said Bruning was placed on routine paid administrative leave pending the review of the incident.
According to police, Bruning attempted a traffic stop on a car that was speeding and driving recklessly on 18th Street at around 7:40 a.m.
When Boyd stopped near Fremont and Bruce, Boyd asked the driver to exit the vehicle and the driver complied, police said. After the suspect exited the car, he reached for a “large, bulky item on his waistband.”
Bruning gave several commands for Boyd to stop and asked what he was reaching for, police said.
Prior to fatal officer-involved shooting, Las Vegas police officer was heard on body camera footage saying: “Get your hands out of your pockets! Get down on the ground!”
“Boyd had an opportunity to flee, but charged right at our officer,” Metro Police said Tuesday.
Boyd did not listen and Bruning grabbed Boyd in an attempt to detain him, according to police. The man began fighting Bruning prompting him to use his Taser, which sent the man to the ground. A homemade knife was found on Bruning later.
The man got back up and continued fighting Bruning.
At some point during the second altercation, Bruning used his gun and fired twice at the Boyd, police said. Boyd was hit and was taken to University Medical Center where he later died.

See what happens when you don't go understand English….
Great recording
1 down…
Shit bunch of pathetic comments wanted to kill cops blah blah. Y'all have no life
Current and surely future problems…just solved. My empathy for the officer.
Get better body cams.
He was raised without enough free midnight basketball.
But he was on his way to church!!!
I hate cops, this cop kept warning the guy. Justified!
One less nigga on the streets !!! Well done officer and you did give plenty of warnings !!!!
Unless English words mean something else to him.
Thugs don't take orders, they run the block until they get shot. Mission complete. They live by their own code we know all og's bring them up the same like bootcamp. You can practically read his mind.
He should of used ebonics
I can't see shit
What a tragic loss. I bet that guy was destined for greatness, like composing a famous symphony, or finding a cure to alzheimers.
Dude is evil you hear him talking after he got tazed jeez what the heck 3:50
Stupid ass negro.
Din do nuttn?
3:17 my man really tryna crawl under his car
cops that block their bodycameras like that, should ALWAYS be found guilty, i dont care what happened.
You have camera for a reason, stop fucking blocking it.
They should be held accountable
Good job officer, clean up the streets
Do black people really honestly wonder why they get treated the way that they do?
3:39 how did he figure this was going to work out?
Everyone watching this will project onto it and affirm their beliefs, causing a sense of justice and (in)security. What is ACTUAL is far to simple to be stated. ???
When is fighting/wrestling or resisting arrest cause for an execution? Did the man pull a knife on the officer? NO.
1 less fucking spook..
A decent, respectable police officer that gave a person of no respect many chances to be civil.
Thank you for cleaning the streets officer. Rather him be dead then going to jail where we would have to pay for me to be there
Niggaz…..
DINNDU, IS THAT YOU?
Stop resisting you idiots. Jeez!!
I've said it once I've said it a thousand times nice shot
Why he didn't have no reason to shoot my baby dat my baby dat my baby
They should just come handcuffed standard
A “homemade knife” that was PLANTED by Metro!!!!!
I'm a cop Watcher this guy had it coming to him he had several warnings
We wuz kangz and shit
Nice how the officer obstructs the cam. Typical
Question of the day: anyone able to identify that bird call?
"It's a battery pack"…of course it is! What's wrong with you, officer? Everyone carries a battery pack on their hip!
And, that demon man needs to pull up his panties…☝
Can you tell me my rights? ?
I never heard that one on duty!
He just dropped his little brother off at medical school.
What can you expect from a man named demon try?
Go back to police batons. People respect a good clubbing.
