Mesquite police released body camera video, the 911 call and more during a Friday afternoon news conference related to the police shooting death of Ashton Pinke.

Pinke, 27, was shot Tuesday morning after officers responded to an apparent domestic violence situation after a 911 hang-up call.

Officers were sent to the Audubon Park Apartments Tuesday after dispatchers said they could hear screaming and the sounds of a struggle in the background of a 911 call before it hung up, according to a police spokesperson.

The 911 call released on Friday showed there was a woman screaming multiple times and police said dispatchers could hear her say, "Please don't hit me," Lt. Stephen Biggs said during the news conference.

When officers arrived at the complex on the 5800 block of Northwest Drive, bodycam video from one of the responding officers showed Pinke answer the door to the officer and close the door.

The woman later told investigators that she was standing behind Pinke when he answered the door and was signaling to the officer for help, Biggs said at the news conference.

"He was calm, but not cooperative," Biggs described.

The officers continued knocking, and, eventually, the woman came outside with a child. She told officers that Pinke assaulted her and that he had a knife.

She and the child pointed officers to where Pinke had gone.

Body camera video then shows officer searching for him.

"Come on down here and talk with me," the officer is heard saying on the bodycam.

Pinke, according to police, had climbed out of a second-floor window of the apartment and dropped to the ground. Officers then placed themselves between the woman and child, and Pinke.

In the bodycam footage, Pinke was standing around a corner and can be heard repeatedly saying "shoot." Officers raise their weapons at this point.

"Does he have a gun?" the male officer asks in the video.

"She said he had a knife," the female officer replies.

Police said he refused any commands by the officers and made no effort to run or drop his weapons. Police said Pinke then charged at the two responding officers with a knife and a club - a supposed walking stick that had been modified with "batteries and sockets" at both ends.
