Fatal Denver Police Shooting: Unarmed Man Holding Marker Mistaken for Weapon

A man was shot and killed by police in Denver during a response to a domestic violence call. Body camera footage shows an officer firing a Taser at the suspect, who was approaching a female officer, claiming he had a knife. When the Taser failed, the officer fired two shots, later discovering that the man was carrying a black marker. The incident occurred in close proximity to a woman and child, but the officer stated that she had limited visibility due to the suspect's proximity. The shooting is currently under investigation by the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
