An Armed And Wanted Fugitive In Colorado Springs Gets Gunned Down By Cops, Gets His Butt Chewed Up By A K9 As He Died

Wednesday, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) released body-worn camera footage of an altercation between their officers and a wanted man.

On Aug. 17, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Colorado Department of Corrections reached out to CSPD asking for help in bringing in a wanted fugitive.

That day, police attempted to arrest 37-year-old Benjamin Annaboli, which triggered a chase that ended in his death.

When officers with CSPD's Tactical Enforcement Unit (TEU) responded to the Days Inn on Aeroplaza Drive to make the arrest, Annaboli ran.

Drone footage shows Annaboli running toward the front doors of a hotel holding weapons. When police ask him to drop the gun, he doesn't.

A CSPD officer released a K9 on Annaboli, but police say he still didn't drop the gun.

In the video, officers are heard saying, "Police, you're under arrest! Police, you're under arrest! Stop! Police! He's running. Gun in hand, gun in hand! Stop, police! Drop the gun, drop the gun right now."

Immediately after, you can hear shots ring out. According to CSPD, two officers fired their weapons.

The video shows officers surrounding Annaboli and starting to cut off pieces of his clothing to provide medical care, but he later died in the hospital from his injuries.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation, as is required by Colorado law.

Once the Sheriff's Office finishes investigating, they will turn over all evidence and information to the 4th Judicial District Attorney's office.

The DA's Office will then determine whether the officers' use of force was lawful.
