Las Vegas police release bodycam videos in two recent non-fatal officer-involved shootings
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is holding a press conference regarding two officer-involved shootings that happened this week.
Assistant Sheriff Yasenia Yatomi will discuss additional details of the officer-involved shootings from June 25 and 26.
On Tuesday, one person was shot by police during an armed confrontation at a home in the 2000 block of Valley Drive, near Lake Mead Boulevard and Rancho Drive.
The suspect involved was identified as 41-year-old Matthew Tindall.
Police said Tindall had broken into a residence while armed with a knife. Two officers arrived to the scene and heard yelling for help from a neighboring residence.
Both officers ran to the home and saw three people outside the front door. Tindall was in the doorway in a fight with another man and was holding a knife. After issuing vertbal commands to Tindall, he dropped the knife, but then bent down and started to reach for it.
Officer Miguel Rodriguez fired his gun, hitting Tindall.
Rodriguez, 31, has been with the department since 2017, and police said he fired five rounds in total.
Tindall is held on charges of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon against an older person, home invasion with a deadly weapon, home invasion with a deadly weapon against an older person, battery with a deadly weapon, and resisting an officer with a deadly weapon that was not a firearm.
Wednesday's shooting happened in the area of Boulder Highway and Russell Road. Police shot a man who they say was armed with two knives and threatening customers at a business.
The suspect was identified as 62-year-old Robert Kunhart. Several officers responded to the scene and found Kunhart in the parking lot of the business holding a knife and appearing agitated.
Officers told him to drop the knife, but he ignored them and proceeded to walk toward the front doors of the store. As officers followed Kunhart, they saw he had two knives, one in each hand.
Officers utilized mutliple less-lethal options to prevent the man from going tinto the business with several people inside. Those options were not effective, and he cotinued to walk toward police.
Kunhart then charged, causing two officers to fire their weapons, hitting the suspect.
The officers involved in this incident have been identified as Sergeant Ashley Ravelo, 32, and Officer Johnny Patino, 32. Ravelo fired one round, and Patino fired five rounds.
Kunhart faces charges of attempted murder on a protected person and resisting a public officer with a weapon that wasn't a firearm.
