    Bodycam footage shows the moment a suspect tried to grab a police gun before being shot by an officer outside an Albuquerque Walmart in April.

    Footage shows an officer tracking down Adrianna Gonzales to the store near Menaul and Wyoming after a string of armed robberies.

    Her boyfriend Mark Benavidez, wanted by police, was with her. The pair had split up; after Gonzales surrendered in the parking lot, officers waited for Benavidez.

    He was tackled to the ground before grabbing a detective's rifle, firing it several times before two officers grabbed their guns and shot him five times.

    He died at the scene.

    Albuquerque Police department says they are investigating how he grabbed the gun.

    this news article is wrong in some instances,I saw the live press conference that the police department gave and they didn't have a warrant for the man ,only for the girl,they never said that they split up after they realized that the cops were on them.if that were true mark benavidez wouldn't have came back out of the store.these news people need to get their facts straight

    I'm not sticking up for nobody I just have an opinion,why would they use undercover cops to try and arrest that man ? then using A R style weapons in plain clothes ? dude probably tripped out and why didn't they use pistols instead of rifles ? the rifle they said was a shoulder strap so maybe when y'all jumped on that young man and tazed him the muscles tense up and that may have led to the discharging of the rifle.thos was by far a botched plan and they didn't even know until afterwards that this man was involved in the armed robberies,they only had a warrant for that girl.Very suspect
