Miami-Dade, FL - Newly-released body camera footage shows the moments a veteran Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy shot and killed a man outside of an apartment complex in the county’s West Little River area on June 17.

According to MDSO, Deputy Kelvin Cox shot and killed Kristofer Lazaro Laboy, 24, outside of a building within the Sunset Palm Villas Association complex, located just outside the Miami city limits at Northwest 85th Street Road and Fourth Court.

According to the agency, the shooting came after deputies with MDSO’s Robbery Intervention Detail tried to pull over a yellow Chevrolet Corvette with dark tints.

Deputies said the driver did not stop, and authorities were able to track the sports car to the complex.

Authorities said Laboy, the driver, got out, was armed and Cox shot and killed him at around 5:15 p.m.

Video released by MDSO shows Cox exclaim, “Put the gun down!” and later “Oh, s---!” as he sees Laboy with a gun, leading Cox to open fire.

In the video, Cox picks up Laboy’s gun from the ground and moves it out the way after shooting him.

The MDSO-produced video points out that officers’ emergency lights were activated. They said they found marijuana and prescription drugs in Laboy’s car.

Family members of Laboy had been demanding that MDSO release video of the shooting.

“He is no damn thug,” a family member said following the shooting. “He was a loving son, brother and nephew.”

Following the shooting, Laboy’s father said his son called him in a panic beforehand, saying, “Dad, I need help, come help me, pick me up, I’m being chased, and I don’t know by who.”

“He’s a concealed carry holder,” Laboy’s father said. “He has a gun on him for protection.”
