Correction on one point: APD did claim an officer was shot. That officer was never identified nor the story corroborated.

There was a video circulating at the time of officers near the murder claiming it was friendly fire. And still, no gun powder found on victim's hands.

Also, I made an edit to reflect Tortuguita's correct pronouns (they/them).

Speculation on social media has been raised questions about statements made in the footage that been released. In the recording, the officers head in the direction of the gunshots as radio traffic bounces back and forth. At one point, one of the officers, seemingly reacting to the radio traffic, says, "You (expletive) your own officer up ... Did they shoot their own man?"
