Authorities said the officer instructed Lyoya to pull over because he did not have the correct registration. In the video, Lyoya is seen getting out of his vehicle to speak to the officer, who commands him to return to his car.

“Get back in the car…dude, I’m stopping ya, do you have a license? Do you have a license?” the officer asks in the video.

“For what?” Lyoya replies.

“I’m stopping ya, do you have a license? Do you have a driver’s license, do you speak English?” the officer inquires.

After confirming that he speaks English, Lyoya tells the officer his license is in his vehicle. He then goes to the driver’s side front door, talks with the unidentified passenger, closes his door and walks to the front of his car.

“No, no, no, stop, stop,” the officer is heard saying off camera and places his hands on Lyoya’s shoulder and back.

Lyoya takes off running before the officer stops him on a nearby lawn and yells at him.

The officer’s body camera shows Lyoya grabbing the Taser in the officer’s hand, and halfway through the struggle, the officer’s body camera is turned off. Authorities, however, can not tell if it was intentional or by the pressure of the scuffle, The New York Times reports.

However, video from the officer’s patrol car, a doorbell security system, and a witness’s mobile phone capture the altercation from different vantage points.

The officer is heard yelling, “Let go of the Taser,” before fatally shooting Lyoya in the head and back, CNN reports.
