A woman called 911 Sunday morning because her boyfriend was trying to break into her house with a bat. She said he came home drunk and assaulted her before she kicked him out.

Body cam video shows 37-year-old Emmanuel Blanco Cruz attempting to throw his knife at an officer before he was fatally shot.

Video and audio released by Richardson police show what led up to the deadly shooting of a knife-wielding domestic violence suspect.

The incident happened Sunday around 4 a.m. at a home on Fair Oaks Drive.

Police say they received a 911 call Sunday morning around 4 a.m. from a woman who said her boyfriend, 37-year-old Emmanuel Blanco Cruz, came home drunk and hit her several times.

"I kicked him out, so he's trying to get all his stuff out and into his truck," the woman said.

The woman said she was inside her home with her kids, but Cruz was trying to break in through the windows with a bat. After some sort of commotion, the woman screamed and the 911 call was dropped.

The first officer who arrived on scene ran to the back, where the woman was. She said her boyfriend was trying to stab her.

The officer’s body cam shows Cruz in the garage with a knife.

The video shows Cruz coming out of the house with the knife in hand and walking towards his girlfriend, ignoring the officer.

The female officer can be heard telling Cruz to drop the knife multiple times, but he ignored the commands.

After grabbing something from his truck, he turned to the officer and lunged back as if he was about to throw his knife. That's when the officer fired the fatal shot.

Cruz fell to the ground as more backup arrived. In the body cam video, Cruz can be seen searching for his knife and trying to get back up.

Police say Cruz was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
