OGDEN, Utah — An Ogden, Utah police officer fatally shot a wanted suspect who refused to drop his firearm and raise his hands during a confrontation. The man had been hiding from law enforcement authorities when the deadly encounter took place.
The officer found Dino Raul Morales hiding in the back of a pickup truck while investigating a report of aggravated robbery, sexual assault and vehicle theft earlier in February, Post Millennial reported.
A graphic video posted by Police Activity shows the fatal encounter from the vantage point of police bodycam footage.
