TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Authorities have released video from the fatal shooting of a sword-carrying man in Pima County on Saturday, Feb. 24.
The Pima County Regional Incident Team released the video on Friday, March 29.
The PCRIT earlier said 23-year-old Devon Lewis died at the scene, a hotel in the 4800 block of South Palo Verde Road.
PRCIT said someone called 911 to report Lewis was yelling and waving a sword around in the parking lot.
When Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies arrived, they found Lewis standing outside with his sword sheathed.
PRCIT said following a shot conversation between deputies and Lewis, he removed the sword from the sheath and started charging deputies.
A deputy then shot Lewis and other deputies began rendering aid.
There were no other injuries reported in the incident.
The deputy who shot Lewis has been identified as Ramon Morales, a one-year veteran of the PCSD.
PRCIT is investigating the shooting with the Tucson Police Department as the lead agency. The PCSD will conduct a separate investigation to determine if any policy violations occurred.
All findings will be forwarded to the Pima County Attorney's Office for review once the investigation is complete.
