The California Department of Justice is investigating a deadly shooting involving two officers from last weekend.

The Fresno Police Department identified the man shot and killed by officers as 29-year-old Roberto Corchado.

Corchado was shot on Saturday night near Herndon Avenue, near Palm Avenue.

An exclusive video only seen on our station shows the moment officers opened fire on Corchado near a Walmart parking lot.

In the video, you see a man get out of the car with his hands up, he takes several steps forward and looks back at the officers. Several armed officers go toward the man, and then one of them starts shouting.

Less than a minute later, about another eight to 10 rounds go off.

Fresno Police Deputy Chief Mindy Casto said during a news conference on Saturday that Corchado was a wanted felon who officers tried to pull over earlier in the day.

Casto says Corchado took off, ran several red lights, was spotted by a police helicopter and then an officer used a maneuver to get his car to stop near Herndon and Ingram.

“Immediately after that the individual in the vehicle got out and engaged the officer, at that time shots were fired,” said Casto.

Legal analyst Mark King said the video told a different story.

“What I saw disturbed me,” said King. “Engaged the officer, I take that to mean shooting at them. The video that you shared with me clearly shows police officers firing at him while he is getting out of his car with both hands held high over his head. So, both of those things can’t be true. I think the video is more true than what the deputy police chief said.”
