Miami-Dade, FL - Body camera video from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office shows a shootout involving a sergeant and an armed suspect who was killed back in September.

The sheriff's office on Monday released the footage that shows the fatal Sept. 16 encounter with 44-year-old Jose Pineda Jr.

The incident began when officials said they received a 911 call about a man waving a gun at people outside of Davis Grocery in the 21600 block of Southwest 120th Avenue.

"There's a guy in a Honda…he's pulling a gun out on everybody, please send the police, hurry up now," the person says in the call, also released by the sheriff's office.

A sheriff's office sergeant responded and told Pineda, who was in the van, to show his hands, but Pineda responded that he didn't have any hands.

Moments later, the video shows a barrage of bullets being fired as the sergeant and Pineda both opened fire.

The sergeant took cover behind a pickup truck, then fired a few more shots and got on his radio.

"Shots fired, shots fired!" he yells. "Watch for crossfire, he's armed!"

A second deputy responds as Pineda got out of the van and ended up on the ground, injured, with his gun laying next to him, the video showed.

The gun is kicked away as Pineda is placed in handcuffs. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Photos released by the sheriff's office showed the sergeant's vehicle was struck by gunfire.

No deputies were injured in the shootout.
