DALLAS—Dallas police have released additional details and body camera footage of officers shooting a man in Far East Dallas who was brandishing what turned out to be an imitation gun.
Dallas Officer-Involved Shooting
We know:
On the afternoon of January 7, Dallas police report that they got six 911 reports of a guy brandishing a gun at cars on Joaquin Drive, which is located approximately one block from Casa View Elementary and east of White Rock Lake.
Michael Alonzo, 52, was allegedly pointing a gun at someone inside a car when police arrived on the scene.
Officers can be heard instructing Alonzo to drop the gun in both Spanish and English on body camera footage.
