The New York state Attorney General’s Office has released graphic police body-worn camera video and drone footage from the final moments of a deadly standoff between law enforcement officers and a 50-year-old Cameron man last month.Allen V. Hoad II died in a local hospital Oct. 21 after a 12-hour siege that began at Hoad's Angel Road residence in Cameron and ended when the fleeing suspect drove his truck at Steuben County Sheriff’s Office deputies and other law enforcement officers who responded with gunfire.By law, the state Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigation investigates all instances of law enforcement-involved fatalities.The Attorney General's Office did not indicate a time frame for completing the probe, but the office is expected to report its findings within months.The video release follows Attorney General Letitia James’ directive that camera footage obtained by her office during an OSI investigation be released to the public.Redacted drone video shows Hoad backing a truck into a parked police vehicle head on. Two officers who were apparently crouching just behind the vehicle scramble away just before it is struck.Hoad and two dogs then jump out of the driver's side door as several police officers close in with guns drawn. The drone video shows Hoad fall to the ground almost immediately after exiting the vehicle as the dogs scatter.OSI also released two redacted body camera videos from SWAT officers at the scene, according to the Attorney General's Office. In one, the footage appears to begin just seconds before Hoad drives into the police vehicle. The video includes several seconds of gunfire and then shouted commands for Hoad to show his hands.It ends after a law enforcement officer shouts, "We're good, we're good, we're good. Guns down!"The other body cam video shows an officer advancing toward where Hoad crashed, while holding a firearm. Gunshots ring out and officers can be heard shouting, "Stop moving, stop moving" and "the dog's hit."Hoad can be seen lying prone in some tall grass just off the side of the roadway. Law enforcement officers begin checking his condition and calling for medical help.
