So far, seven people have testified in the deadly conduct trial for Austin Police Officer Christopher Taylor. He faces the charge in the 2019 death of Mauris DeSilva.

According to police, DeSilva was having a mental health episode and holding a knife to his throat in his condo complex in downtown Austin when the shooting happened.

Cast also responded to the 911 call for DeSilva, and also came face to face with DeSilva at the condo complex. Cast deployed a stun gun while Taylor and another officer, Karl Krycia, fired guns.

The video shows the elevator open and DeSilva standing at the wall across what witnesses describe as a narrow hallway, looking in the mirror holding a knife to his throat. About three seconds pass between when the elevator opens and officers issue commands and shoot DeSilva.
