San Antonio police released bodycam video of a deadly shooting involving a robbery suspect on September 4.

Jacob String, 27, was shot and killed in the 100 block of Prestwick, on the Southwest Side.

Police were pursuing String following two robberies that occurred earlier in the day. He was also wanted on four aggravated robbery warrants and had a lengthy criminal history.

Body camera video showed an officer pulling up to the back of an apartment complex and immediately grabbing his gun.

“Let me see your hands! Let me see your f****** hands! Get on the f****** ground now!” the officer shouted.

String looked down and started walking away from police with his left hand in his pocket as more officers arrived.

Police ordered String to show his hands. He then took his hand out of his pocket with his cellphone and told the officer no and that he had to make a phone call.

A second officer yelled at String to get on the ground, but instead, he slowly walked away. Moments later, String is seen reaching back into his pocket.

One of the officers deployed his taser and String fell forward. He turned his body toward officers with a gun in his hand before hitting the ground.

Officers then open fired at String, killing him at the scene.
