The Lake County Sheriff's Office released an incident report and body cam footage of the deputy-involved shooting incident on Sunday in a pasture between Lake Mack and DeLand.

The videos shed some light on the situation, but still unknown is whether 49-year-old Daniel P. Sayre was armed when he was shot by deputies.

The LCSO on Sunday responded to calls of an armed man spooking two horses in a pasture at 1:15 p.m. at 43340 Cooter Pond Road.

Later that day, the agency released some information about the shooting, including that Sayre fled from officers. But LCSO has not released some other details, including if Sayre, who is white, was armed.

LCSO has declined to comment further since the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating whether the shooting was justified.

Witness reports
Gwendolyn Granade called the sheriff's office on Sunday.

“I saw a man holding a rifle or a shotgun," Granade told Daily Commercial this week. "He had a look on his face. I can’t describe it.”

She said she saw Sayre holding the weapon up in the air, then watched him climb a fence onto an adjoining wooded property. She then heard him shout: “Help.”

Surgeons cautioned her that there may be some permanent damage to his internal organs.

What the videos show
“Stop moving!”

It was the command a sheriff’s deputy made repeatedly Sunday to Sayre.

He kept moving. Even before they spotted the man, deputies had identified themselves and ordered him to come out of the woods.

“I’m not kidding,” the deputy said at one point, his M4 Carbine Semiautomatic rifle trained on the thin, bare-chested man trying to crawl through palmetto bushes.

At one point, he yells for Sayre to stand up. At another moment, when Sayre is closer to the ground, he tells him to lie on his stomach.

“Stop moving! Stop moving!”

Then, while another deputy is shouting, asking the deputy where he is, Sayre can be seen on body camera video making a sudden movement, and he is shot.

It's not clear in the video whether Sayre is armed.

'Enough is enough'
Turner says her brother has a history of mental illness.

“People with mental illness are constantly shot by police,” Turner said. “Enough is enough.”

Earlier that day, he had called 911 for an ambulance.

“The cops should have known that,” she said.

“I was on the way to go get him,” Turner said.

Turner said she has been talking to an attorney.

Meanwhile, the still unnamed deputy has been placed on administrative leave, also standard practice.

There was no update on the investigation as of Friday, according to FDLE spokesman Jeremy Burns. The agency will turn its findings over to the State Attorney’s Office to determine charges, if any.

Sayre also has a criminal history of drug charges and driving with a suspended license. He spent about a year in state prison on charges in a 2000 case for aggravated battery and battery.

LCSO Lt. John Herrell said the sheriff’s office has long trained deputies in crisis intervention
Granade said she heard a deputy shout, “Show me your hands,” and then heard a single shot.

From the video, it appears Sayre was shot in his right side. He was airlifted to the trauma center at Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford.

Sayre underwent surgery Sunday and Tuesday on his stomach, colon and small intestine.

“He’s going to make it,” Sayre’s sister, Elizabeth Turner, told the Daily Commercial on Friday. “He continues to make progress.”
