Ogden • There is no body camera footage of a Tuesday afternoon police shooting in Ogden that killed a Utah teenager.
An Ogden officer shot 18-year-old Anthony Ray Borden-Cortez after police say the teen pointed a BB gun at the officer following a car chase.
Deputy Police Chief Eric Young said Wednesday that the detective who fired the fatal shots was not wearing a body camera, and the only footage from Tuesday’s shooting is from other officers who arrived after the shots were fired.
Young said the officer was not wearing a recording device because he had switched to a heavier steel plate vest that day “due to the risk of the situation” as he was investigating a tip about a wanted armed robbery suspect.
