A November shooting left a man dead and a US Park Police officer wounded. On Monday, law enforcement released body camera video of the chase turned deadly shooting.The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of M Street in Northwest, D.C. on Nov. 22. According to the United States Park Police, an officer contacted a suspect for an alleged narcotics violation when the suspect ran. A short time later, both the suspect and the officer shot at each other. Both were wounded and taken to area hospitals. The suspect, later identified as 30-year-old Turell Delonte Campbell, died at the hospital. Less than a month later, police released video footage of the chase and subsequent shooting. The video does include footage that may be deemed disturbing and should be watched with caution. The video begins by explaining the process and policy surrounding body cameras as worn by U.S. Park Police. The recording starts nearly three minutes later, with the video showing the officer behind the wheel of a car. The officer appears to pull over and get out, immediately chasing after someone, presumably Campbell. "I got one running," the officer can be heard saying into his radio. Seconds later, the officer catches up to Campbell, telling him to get down or he would get hurt. To which Campbell replies, "No I'm not." The officer appears to grab Campbell's arm, repeatedly saying "Let me see your hands," when seconds later gunshots go off and the officer screams."I've been shot," the officer says into his radio and he crawls away. The officer begs for help, asking into the radio to "send the board" and that he needs a helicopter. He then reports that he has been shot multiple times.The recording cuts shortly afterward, and the released video replays the chase and deadly shooting again, slowed down and frozen in certain spots to enhance Campbell's reported firearm, which was found by police at the scene.While it is not shown in the video, U.S. Park Police say officers tried to help Campbell at the scene but he later died at the hospital.The officer's identity has not been released and the shooting remains under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department. The findings will also be reviewed by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
