Witnesses reported that the incident began after a runner told the man to slow down while riding on the sidewalk. According to witnesses, the suspect became involved in a verbal altercation where he used slurs addressed to the running group. The suspect proceeded to strike a female victim, which escalated into a brief physical altercation. The suspect subsequently produced a handgun, pointed it at multiple people, and threatened to shoot them before fleeing the area on the scooter. Officers arrived on the scene within two minutes at 8:15 a.m. and began searching for the suspect. Throughout the morning, officers gathered witness statements, reviewed surveillance video, and developed a description of the suspect. At 10:23 a.m., APD checked the area of 1100 West Cesar Chavez Street and found a scooter they believed belong to the suspect. They continued to check the area for him. At 11:07 a.m., officers located an individual matching the suspect's description near the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail in the area of B.R. Reynolds Drive and West Cesar Chavez Street. Officers observed the individual, later identified as 29-year-old Emmanuel Diaz, get on the scooter and start to drive away. Officers gave him commands to stop. Diaz abandoned the scooter and fled on foot. Officers pursued him for a short distance while giving multiple commands for him to stop. During the pursuit, officers observed Diaz was armed with a handgun and ordered him to drop the weapon. Diaz refused to comply, continued fleeing, and did not drop the firearm. As officers closed the distance, Diaz fell to the ground and pointed his firearm at officers. At 11:08 a.m., Officer Collins and Officer Johns discharged their firearms, striking Diaz. Officers took Diaz into custody and began providing life-saving measures until Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services (ATCEMS) arrived. Despite those efforts, Diaz was pronounced deceased at the scene. No officers were injured during the incident, and there are no reported injuries to members of the public. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'HauntSync.com' - Cor Hakels - Christopher Tramm - 'Rate A Creator with Omar Alkahlout' - 'Forever A Lon
