And that was when three Evansville police officers fired 11 shots at the man. They then handcuffed his lifeless body. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Wooters, 38, had angered the cops by stealing a patrol car and leading police on a one-mile chase that ended when damage to the car’s front axle caused it to spin around. The video from one officer shows Wooters stepping out of the car and raising his hands, then taking two steps forward before he is gunned down. He did not appear to want to advance from his standing position, but police viewed it differently. The incident took place on March 15, 2016, but the body cam footage was only released today.
