Suspect Armed Robber Fatally Shot by Police in Arizona
A suspected armed robber was fatally shot by police in broad daylight in Arizona and the violent encounter was caught on newly-released video.
Ny’Kendreon Pridewas wanted for a series of thefts in early August when his hours-long crime spree across Mesa came to a screeching halt.
A U.S Marshals-led task force spotted Pride believed to be carrying a handgun walking along a busy street.
Surveillance video shows Pride crossing the road and walking down a sidewalk as officers driving in an SUV close in.
One of the cops tosses a flash bang grenade out the window and it blows up near Pride, causing smoke to rise around his feet.
The non-lethal explosive device didn’t seem to have its desired effect, which was to disorient Pride, who starts running away.
But he’s soon gunned down by a shotgun-wielding detective in the SUV’s front passenger seat after Pride pulled out what appeared to be a firearm.
