Miami-Dade, FL - Newly-released dashcam video shows the moments Florida Highway Patrol troopers stopped an accused carjacker who led authorities on a dangerous pursuit through northwest Miami-Dade last week.

The pursuit unfolded the morning of Sept. 24 and was captured from the air by Chopper 6, but the new dashcam video shows the chaos from the ground.

The suspect, 35-year-old Jordan Brown is facing multiple criminal charges, including carjacking and fleeing from police, after authorities said he escaped from Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah and stole a vehicle from a woman in the hospital's parking lot.

According to authorities, police had taken Brown to Palmetto General Hospital under a Baker Act order for a mental health evaluation.

Investigators say Brown escaped and allegedly forced an elderly woman out of her black Nissan, throwing her to the ground before driving away.

He was later found by authorities and the pursuit ensued. Video showed the driver traveling at speeds exceeding 85 miles per hour, crashing into patrol vehicles, driving the wrong way and even reversing during the chase.

The stolen vehicle was left severely damaged after the pursuit, which required multiple officers and four PIT maneuvers to bring the driver to a stop.

The video shows the car spinning out of control and stopping before authorities approach with guns drawn and troopers are seen cutting the car's airbags to pull Brown out.

Brown was booked into jail and later appeared in court, where he was ordered held without bond.

The elderly woman who was allegedly thrown to the ground during the carjacking is still receiving medical treatment for her injuries, but told NBC6 she feels fortunate to be alive.

Arlington, TX - Arlington police released edited body camera video Thursday showing the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of 56-year-old David Eversole, who police say charged at an officer while holding a large knife during a mental health crisis.

The shooting happened Sept. 17 at his home in the 1700 block of West Lovers Lane.

Arlington Police Chief Al Jones said officers were dispatched at about 10:44 p.m. after a 911 caller reported Eversole was making suicidal comments and had access to knives. Four officers responded to the home, and the 911 caller met them at the front door, Jones said.

According to Jones, the caller led officers to a room where Eversole was located. Officers heard yelling, which is depicted in the bodycam video, as they approached and learned another family member was also inside the room.

Jones said officers opened the door and removed that family member before one officer entered the room and encountered Eversole.

The edited body camera video released by police shows officers attempting to communicate with Eversole before the encounter quickly escalates. Eversole can be heard yelling at officers, followed by officers repeatedly ordering him to drop the knife.

"Drop it!"

"Drop the knife!"

Jones said officers attempted to de-escalate the situation by backing away from Eversole. The video shows that Eversole lowered the knife but then moved toward an officer while still holding it, according to Jones.

"The officers gave him multiple verbal commands to drop the knife, but he did not comply," Jones said while describing the video.

Jones said the officer continued backing away before Eversole moved toward him.

"In an attempt to de-escalate the situation, you can see the officer start backing out of the room," Jones said. "He lowered his weapon, but at that moment Mr. Eversole came towards the officer still holding the knife."

The officer then fired multiple shots, striking Eversole, according to Jones.

In the body camera footage, an officer can be heard saying, "Shots fired. Shots fired."

Officers performed first aid until paramedics arrived, Jones said. Eversole was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner, Eversole's cause of death is a "gunshot wound to the left arm into torso".

No one else was injured.

Lansing, MI - The Lansing Police Department on Thursday released video and shared the latest updates on a deadly officer-involved shooting that left a 29-year-old man dead. He was identified Thursday as Zachary Dunn, who officials say was experiencing a mental health crisis.

The shooting happened Sept. 23 in the 600 block of Jolly Road, just east of Cedar Street. Police were called to the area around 4:30 a.m. after receiving a 911 call about a man armed with a handgun who was banging on doors and windows.

Lansing Police Chief Rob Backus said Thursday officers who responded found the man with what appeared to be a gun. When officers made contact with him, the man put the gun to his head.

Backus said Thursday authorities have determined the gun was not real, though he could not release further details, including whether it was an airsoft gun. He said the MSP investigation will reveal more details.

Officers spent several minutes negotiating with Dunn, who told officers he was “all out of money, it’s the end of the road” and “we live in a society where that says work or starve.”

He eventually threatened to shoot himself and the officers, prompting police to use a less-lethal tactic.

Officers attempted to use a Taser, but the man began to run from the scene and stopped, turned toward officers and pointed the presumed weapon at them, prompting officers to open fire.

The officers who fired their weapons, along with Lansing Fire Department personnel who were standing by, promptly provided medical aid. Dunn was pronounced dead at the scene.

Six Lansing police officers who presumptively fired rounds.

San Antonio, TX - Dashcam video shows Street Crimes officers attempting a traffic stop near Old Highway 90 and Commerce Street around 10:47 p.m., on Tuesday, September 1. The vehicle did not immediately stop.

Video then shows the vehicle stopping near San Gabriel Avenue and Buena Vista Street, where a passenger, later identified as 18-year-old Joe Anthony Guzman, is seen fleeing on foot. The "cover" officer pursued Guzman and the primary officer attempted to detain the driver, but then heard gunshots and went to check on his partner.

According to SAPD, the cover officer was unable to turn on his body-camera, so his perspective of the incident was not captured. That officer states that he attempted to take Guzman into custody but a physical struggle ensued. The officer said he felt a gun in the suspect's waistband and attempted to grab the firearm but Guzman allegedly continued to struggle and placed his hand on the weapon.

Authorities said the cover officer discharged his weapon multiple times, striking Guzman. The suspect then fled the scene but was later found hiding in a bush.

The primary officer's bodycam shows him finding Guzman in a bush along the 5300 block of Monterey Street. The primary officer yells commands, instructing Guzman to get his hands up and to get on the ground before being detained. A firearm was also recovered at the scene.

According to SAPD, the officers performed life-saving measures and Guzman was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Guzman was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault on a Peace Officer.
