Salt Lake City police provide video of officers shooting Cody Belgard, whose family has questioned the killing

Belgard’s family has raised questions about why police were pursuing Belgard, 30. The family has described him as non-violent.

The police department statements, however, has described Belgard as ramming a police car when he and his girlfriend fled officers who approached him in a Sugar House parking lot earlier that night. When officers found Belgard later in Rose Park, police wrote, he was “noncompliant.”
