Mohave County, Kingman, Arizona – On September 22, 2022, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office released a small edited portion of bodycam video that captured a Kingman police officer fatally shooting a man on September 15, 2022 who fled from law enforcement after being stopped for outstanding arrest warrants. Police pulled over 36-year-old Marcus Fuentes on Sept. 15 at around 8:15 p.m. when Fuentes ran from his car leading to a foot chase. Police later found Fuentes hiding behind a pillar in the courtyard of a senior assisted living facility, the Sheriff's Office said. Body cam video shows officer Mike Morris aiming a suppressed AR-15 patterned rifle toward the pillar and ordering Fuentes to step out. Morris continues ordering Fuentes to come out with his hands up when Fuentes threatens to shoot himself. Video from Morris' bodycam shows Morris taking a few steps back and firing a single shot a few seconds after Fuentes' reply. Police say Fuentes "made a furtive movement," though Fuentes isn't in view of Morris' camera when Morris fires. Police rendered first-aid to Fuentes before he was transferred to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
