The NYPD has released police body camera and surveillance video from a police involved shooting in Flatbush last month.
Law enforcement officials say that officers ran toward gunfire at around 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 12 on Ocean Avenue and discovered two men involved in a shootout.
Video shows who police say are 22-year-old Edynesson Bauduy and 35-year-old Aaron Richard get into some sort of dispute before shooting at each other.
Officers say when they approached Bauduy he was still shooting at Richard who was running away.
The video then shows officers shoot Bauduy. He was treated at the hospital for his injuries and later arrested.
News 12 previously reported that they had both been released from prison earlier this year - Bauduy in June and Richard in April. Both Baduy and Richard are facing federal firearm charges.
News 12 has reported at least eight police involved shootings in Brooklyn so far this year, the most recent one being this morning in Brownsville.
News 12 spoke with Flatbush residents who wanted to remain anonymous about the police-involved shootings so far this year.
"I think it's sad we have to live in a neighborhood where crime is still being committed. It's been pretty quiet for a while, then when this happened, it made people lose the faith a little bit," said one resident.
