Nexy Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 ** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** The NOPD on February 4, 2020 released to media video footage captured from officer’s body worn and dashboard cameras during an officer-involved shooting incident on January 25, 2020. The video, released under the department’s protocol regarding instances of officer-involved shootings, clearly shows how quickly events unfolded from the time NOPD officers first arrived at the scene to the moment when the use of deadly force was required. At 7:26 a.m. on January 25, NOPD received multiple calls of an intoxicated subject pointing a firearm at random individuals in the area of Bourbon and St. Louis streets. People fleeing the scene flagged down responding officers and directed them to the armed subject, later identified as 25-year-old Austin Bentel, who was heard and observed to be screaming and shouting profanities as he walked along the street.
