New Mexico State Police release ‘Cops’ footage of deadly shooting

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — We’re getting a different look at what led to a deadly shooting involving New Mexico State Police last month.

This time, we’re not just seeing it through lapel cameras. We’re also seeing it from the perspective of crews with the TV show, “Cops”, whose cameras were rolling at the time of the shooting.

The shooting happened Oct. 3. You can see the officer running after Isaiah Washington, who State Police stated they were trying to stop – along with another man – for jaywalking.

The videos showed a struggle between the officer and Washington. Police claimed Washington pulled a gun and fired at least one time. That’s when the officer fired back.

Washington later died at the hospital. State Police later stated his gun was stolen.

“The NMSP investigates thorough use of force investigations which typically requires investigators to interview multiple witnesses, view numerous hours of video footage and analyze a significant amount of forensic evidence,” State Police stated, adding the “Cops” video is helping in their investigation.

The officer wasn’t hurt. The district attorney is now investigating the shooting.
