On Wednesday, the Ada County Sheriff's Office released body camera and surveillance video detailing what led up to a Star police officer shooting and killing 38-year-old Jeremy Banach on June 15, 2022.It took nine months for the Critical Incident Task Force, led by the Boise Police Department, to investigate the shooting and for a prosecutor in another county to review that investigation and decide whether to criminally charge any of the officers involved.
On Tuesday, the sheriff's office released a letter from the Valley County Prosecutor Brian Naugle publicly clearing officer Jason Woodcook, who shot Jeremy. Naugle also cleared the other two responding officers involved.
The sheriff's office wanted to release the video, so the public could see what responding officers saw. This is the first time the sheriff's office has released body camera footage of a police shooting publicly.
Warning: Some viewers may consider this video to be graphic. KTVB reviewed the raw footage of the shooting and can confirm there was no time edited out of the video when the screen goes black and shots are heard.
The shooting happened about 1.5 hours after Jeremy's parents, Skip and Gina Banach, called dispatch saying Jeremy was trespassing.
The couple wanted Jeremy to go because he was on drugs and refusing to leave. In a family statement, Skip and Gina said they called dispatch to try and get Jeremy court-mandated detox and rehabilitation.
KTVB reviewed the video the sheriff's office released and the police documents explaining what happened. In the video, you can see several officers in the family's backyard talking to Jeremy and trying to get him to leave.
The CITF report states Jeremy told officers he had a gun, which you cannot hear in the video. Jeremy eventually leaves the backyard and walks to the front yard.
In the video, you can hear an officer who states, "Just don't reach for your gun and you're good, man. You can go."
The video then shows an officer raise his gun while Jeremy appears to readjust his own gun. Jeremy then leaves the property. Skip said it was only after Jeremy left that police officers told him that his son had a gun.
Skip then told the officers that Jeremy could have been carrying the gun that was stolen from his house the day before.
When officers learned that Jeremy may have stolen the gun, they decided to track him down. Stealing a gun is a felony.
In the video, just before 9:30 a.m., an officer finds Jeremy walking toward the Star Mercantile with the gun under his sweatshirt. Police documents state the officer said he told Jeremy to drop the gun and that he tried to grab it out of Jeremy's hands but couldn't.
Two more officers than arrived, and the three of them follow Jeremy through the Star Mercantile's parking lot with their guns drawn and pointed at his back the whole time.
Jeremy continues to walks through the parking lot toward a neighborhood. An officer in the video yells, "Don't make bad choices. It's gonna go real bad for you. Don't go toward those houses."
"I know it's gonna go really bad," Jeremy responded.
He continues to ignore the officers' commands. In the video, Jeremy then drops his sweatshirt and points the gun toward his head. Naugle said Jeremy appeared to rotate the gun 180 degrees by turning his arm and wrist counterclockwise.

Naugle said the barrel of the gun was under Jeremy's hand and pointed either at or behind the back of the right side of his head.

"This resulted in the gun being pointed in the general direction of a house across the street and/or Deputy Turner, who was behind and to the left of Jeremy at the time," Naugle stated.The CITF report states Woodcook fired five rounds at Jeremy, all the shots hit him, and he was killed.
KTVB watched the raw video of the shooting for more clarity about what direction Jeremy pointed his gun. However, it's hard to determine where Jeremy points the gun.
Naugle said the shooting was justified because, "Jeremy Banach's flight posed a real and immediate risk of death or serious injury to the deputies and/or members of the public."
"Had Jeremy shot himself in the head, the bullet would have likely continued traveling across the street where there was a home not 50 feet away,' Naugle said. "Not to mention Officer Turner, who was also in, or very near, Jeremy's line of fire after he rotated the pistol in his hand."

On February 13, 2023, around 6:00 a.m., Southwest Division uniformed patrol officers responded to a radio call at Flower Street and Jefferson Avenue for a stolen vehicle investigation.

The officers arrived at the location, but were unable to locate the person reporting the crime. The officers remained in the vicinity of the radio call and observed a truck with an attached trailer that matched the description of the stolen vehicle at Exposition Boulevard and Western Avenue.

After verifying the description of the truck, the officers broadcast they were following the stolen vehicle with one occupant (later identified as Pedro Villalobos). The officers requested back-up units, a supervisor, and an Air Unit. Villalobos made a southbound turn onto Hoover Street from 40th Place. While turning southbound, the attached trailer struck a parked vehicle and continued south on Hoover Street.

The officers broadcast the initiation of a vehicle pursuit. Villalobos attempted an eastbound turn onto 42nd Street from southbound Flower Street; however, he lost control of the truck, causing it to swerve and stop on the east side of the intersection. The primary officers and responding units conducted a high risk stop on Villalobos.

Villalobos failed to comply with the officers’ commands, exited the vehicle, and fled on a skateboard south on Flower Street. Several officers pursued Villalobos on foot, while additional units drove past Villalobos’ position. One of the officers that drove past Villalobos exited his police vehicle and attempted to grab Villalobos as he passed on his skateboard.

Villalobos moved his shoulder forward to avoid the officer’s grasp, causing the officer to make contact with his upper back area. The contact caused Villalobos to lose his balance and fall.

Officers took Villalobos into custody and discovered he had an injury to his right leg. Villalobos was transported by Rescue Ambulance to a local hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and admitted.

No officers or citizens were injured during the incident.

Authorities released body camera footage depicting the shooting that killed Paterson, New Jersey violence intervention advocate Najee Seabrooks.
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office released the footage Thursday afternoon, along with seven 911 calls from the more than five-hour interaction between Seabrooks and Paterson Police.

Phone calls show Seabrooks, who was experiencing a mental health episode, called police himself, apparently afraid that he was in danger.

“I’ve received death threats,” Seabrooks told dispatchers. “I need help being escorted to my car.”

By the time police arrived at the scene, Seabrooks had locked himself in a bathroom. Family members told officers Seabrooks was hallucinating and behaving erratically, according to a statement from the Attorney General’s office.

Throughout the footage, police are seen negotiating with Seabrooks, with guns drawn. At times, the 31-year-old man can be heard both complying with police and threatening to harm himself and officers.

Authorities said police fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at Seabrooks before he lunged at officers with a knife in hand. It’s difficult to make out exactly what happened at that point in the video released Thursday — police gear obstructs the view during much of the encounter.

Seabrooks’ death has spurred protests in Paterson and calls for reform across New Jersey.

A violent encounter between a man and Jacksonville officers during a traffic stop was captured on a witness’ cellphone and body-worn police cameras, both of which were obtained Wednesday by News4JAX.

A violent encounter between a man and Jacksonville officers during a traffic stop was captured on a witness’ cellphone and body-worn police cameras, both of which were obtained Wednesday by News4JAX.

It happened Monday night in a parking lot off King's Road in the New Town area. The family of the man in the video, Natra Jones, says the 30-year-old was beaten by police. He was charged with resisting arrest and possession of co***ne and drug paraphernalia. He’s since been released from jail on bond.

In a statement (in full at end of article) that accompanied the release of the body-worn camera footage, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the officers involved did not violate state laws or policy.

From one angle, it’s difficult to determine what Jones is doing with his hands, but we can see what appears to be officers striking Jones in an attempt to place handcuffs on him.

Approximately 46 seconds into the video, one officer appears to be holding Jones from behind while another officer has him in a headlock and delivers two uppercut blows to his face. He eventually goes down, and then we hear him being stun gunned.

In an angle from one of the body-worn cameras, an officer can be heard saying he sees what looked like a gun.

“He’s got a gun, he has a gun,” one officer says.

“I don’t have no gun! What are y’all talking about a gun,” the man yells.

Notably, no firearm was recovered from the scene.

Security expert James Brown, who is a former JSO officer, was able to review the footage that was taken by a witness.

“It’s very dangerous because you got an individual’s head. The carotid artery. The neck. There are a lot of things that can go wrong, especially with the head being locked and the individual’s body weight and then delivering punches,” Brown said of the footage.

Brown also said that when there are multiple officers at a scene, there should be a coordinated effort to take a suspect into custody.

“If you have multiple officers going after one individual, you can easily get confused in the struggle to where you’re working against yourselves,” Brown explained.

Court records show that Jones has a long criminal history involving the sale of illegal narcotics.

Multiple allegations and a lawsuit have been filed against an Evansville Police Department officer after a nonprofit accused him of a nonconsensual detention and search.
