Officers saw Leonardo Hurtado Ibarra, 25, at around 5:47 p.m. coming out of an entryway in the area of 1200 6th Avenue. He reportedly had distinctive tattoos on his face that matched a wanted poster for a June 21 robbery.
Video released by SDPD shows footage from a security camera, a smart streetlight camera, and two body-worn cameras -- four sources in total. The interaction lasts about 20 seconds from the moment Ibarra stepped out of the entryway to the moment he was shot.
In the video, the officer exits the vehicle and says to Ibarra, "Hey man, let me talk to you for a second. Stop. Stop."
While the officer begins approaching him, Ibarra walks away and the officer says, "Stop, let me see your hands."
Police said that as he was walking, he dropped a bag of items from his hands and began to reach into his waistband. He then turned toward the officer on the street and pointed a gun directly at the officer, SDPD Lt. Matt Dobbs said.
In the video a moment later, multiple shots are fired and Ibarra drops to the ground. Both officers shot at him, hitting him at least once, according to police.
Body-worn camera footage from the officer driving shows the officer exit the vehicle and approach Ibarra from the street. Once the officer gets out of his car, he runs parallel to Ibarra separated by two black vehicles.
“Let me see your hands,” he shouts.
Police said Ibarra pointed a gun at the officer and that's when police fired multiple shots.
“Shots fired, shots fired. 530 B street,” the officer says over his radio while approaching Ibarra. “San Diego Police, let me see your hands."
The officers reach Ibarra and handcuff him before performing CPR. A camouflage bandana is shown sitting next to Ibarra's right hand.
The video then shows a couple still images from the security camera and body-worn camera videos where police detail how Ibarra drops his items, reaches into his waistband and then points the reported revolver at an officer.
Ibarra later died at the hospital.
