Bodycam shows a man pointing a gun at Salt Lake City police before they shoot him

Salt Lake City police released body camera video of a man being shot to death by officers — after he pulled a gun and aimed it in their direction.

Riche Antonio Santiago, 29, died at the scene — 731 S. 300 East — at about 7:20 p.m. on Aug. 5 when police responded to a 911 call after the caller abruptly hung up.

Bike squad officers arrived at the Park Place Apartments and found a vehicle that had been involved in a previous report of shots fired. Police records showed the vehicle did not have proof of insurance.
