Orlando police released body camera video on Monday showing a shooting involving officers that happened near Mall at Millenia on May 28.

An off-duty police officer was working extra duty at Mall at Millenia, near Millenia Boulevard and Conroy Road, when a man was asked to leave through a Neiman Marcus store around 7:12 p.m.

Nineteen-year-old Sebastian Roman allegedly pulled out a gun and fired once outside of the mall, OPD said.

In the video, Roman was asked to leave the mall by an officer.

Then an officer asked if he could search Roman's bag, and that's when shots were fired.

The off-duty officer initiated a foot pursuit and called for backup. According to the police department, the officer did not discharge his weapon when initially shot at outside of the mall.

An on-duty officer in a patrol car caught up to the suspect outside an Olive Garden restaurant across from the mall, Chief Orlando Rolón said.

They say that's where Roman shot himself and died.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is still investigating the shooting.
