HARTFORD, Conn. — Videos released Friday show a Connecticut police officer’s fatal shooting last month of an 18-year-old man who drove at him after an attempted traffic stop and pursuit, which sparked protests by the teen’s relatives and activists.
Wethersfield Officer Layau Eulizier is seen on police dashcam and business surveillance videos running in front of a car while it is stopped briefly during the April 20 chase. Eulizier yells, “Show me your hands” several times and fires two shots through the windshield when the teenager drives at him.
The driver, Anthony Jose Vega Cruz , died two days later at a hospital, while a passenger, his 18-year-old girlfriend, was not injured.
