Authorities released a video on Monday of a Tucson police officer fatally shooting 25-year-old Adum Mahamat outside of a hookah lounge on Aug. 20.

Tucson police said that they responded to a call about a fight involving a man with a gun shortly before 3:30 a.m. at Diamondz Lounge near West Ajo Way and Interstate 19. When officers arrived, the involved participants had left the area. However, officers were told about a second fight inside the lounge when speaking with its staff.

According to the Pima Regional Critical Incident Team, the people involved in the second fight were fleeing from the lounge into the parking lot when officers arrived. Police said that Mahamat was found with a handgun, and two officers say they struck him after he refused to drop the weapon at their command.

Authorities said that it took roughly three minutes for the officers to begin life-saving measurers on Mahamat since they need additional resources to make the scene safe. Mahamat was then hospitalized where he was pronounced dead, police said.
