TULSA, Okla. − Tulsa police released bodycam video of a fatal shooting that took place earlier this year.
It happened on February 18, outside of the Spirit 76 bar near E 31st and 129th.
The officer involved in the shooting was responding to a call from the suspect’s girlfriend.
He found 31-year-old Joshua Taft in the parking lot.
Body cam video shows Taft refusing to listen to the officer’s commands, saying “don’t touch me, bro,” and “shoot me.” At one point, Taft chages at the officer while reaching for something in his pocket. The officer opened fire striking Taft several times.
Taft succumbed to his injuries eight days after the shooting.
