Police in Littleton released a video Monday that included bodycam and security camera footage showing an officer shoot and kill a suspect earlier this month
A Littleton police officer shot and killed 41-year-old Stephen Charles Poolson, Jr. on Feb. 2 after police said Poolson pulled out a gun during a foot chase in the 5600 block of Bannock Street near Littleton High School.
Video released Monday shows Poolson on the motorcycle and the officer in his vehicle parked side-by-side on Bannock Street. The 41-year-old suspect then attempts to take off but is stopped when the officer’s vehicle rams the motorcycle, forcing Poolson off the bike. The next clip shows Poolson on the ground as the officer involved in the shooting tells an arriving officer to not touch the gun that is allegedly laying next to the suspect. The clip then shows the officer render first aid to the suspect, who is later transported to the hospital where he is pronounced deceased.
Police originally claimed that the officer tried to contact Poolson on his motorcycle when he reportedly crashed before he took off running from the scene. However, the video shows the suspect did not crash his motorcycle but was rammed by police as he tried to leave the scene.
