New Mexico law enforcement have finally shared bodycam footage in the shooting dead of a teenage armed robbery suspect killed in one of three incidents where cops opened fire first, in the space of just six weeks.
The Albuquerque Police Department on Friday released video of the incident from December 12 in hope of answering questions from the public about what really happened.
Like the two other incidents from the same department, Officer Doug Moore claimed that he shot at Gabriel Romero, 19, because he pointed a gun at him.

Cops captured the teen in the backyard of a house on Kiowa NE in New Mexico
The video does not show the moment Romero was shot as the camera is facing another cop at the time who appears to run in the opposite direction when multiple shots are fired.
But audio reveals how Moore shot and yelled at the man simultaneously then after unleashing multiple bullets, ordered the teen to put his hands up.
Law enforcement can he heard repeatedly ordering the man to adhere to their demands but the clip does not show whether a wounded Romero was able to do this.
'Put your hands up! Put your hands where I can see them,' the cops shout before calling more armed law enforcement to come around to the side of the building.
An officer yells: 'Shots fired!'
Moore has claimed Romero was hiding behind a wheelbarrow when he spotted movement and the suspect pointed a weapon at him.
'Do not reach for the gun!' officers order the man over and over again. The body camera stays pointed out of view of the action for a while and when it pans back other officers are seen working on the man on the ground to count holes and seal at least three in his chest.

Moore responds 'I did' when an officer asks who shot.
A colleague tells Moore to come with him as another asks: 'Is everybody okay? Check yourselves.'
The colleague asks Moore if is he is alright and another can be hear advising: 'I just want you to think about who your buddy is.'
But Moore – who has worked with the department since 2003 - doesn't seem to respond well in the aftermath of the shooting and he either falls or his body camera slips as he drops items.
He tells those helping him gather the items in the back yard to leave him alone.
'Please get off me,' he repeats as one man apologizes and another responds to 'let him go'.
He later walks off the property and go to his car where he's told he's allowed to sit and he switches off his bodycam.
Moore has not been involved in any other shooting cases.
At 4.20pm a woman reported she was robbed at gunpoint by a curly-haired man in a red sweatshirt on the Hahn Arroyo. The video clip appears to show a red clothing item next to Romero's body.
A man reported minutes later than two people told him someone tried to rob them in the same area.
Video footage does not show exactly what occurred but Moore's words and the gunshots can be heard
Law enforcement believed the man was running east and climbing fences when they showed up at a home next door to where they heard children screaming after their dog Bartleby was shot, Albuquerque Journal reports.
Police said they heard four gunshots in the shooting of the animal which led them closer to Romero.
Moore was placed on paid administrative leave but it's not clear whether he has returned to duty yet.
They later determined the gun he was found with was stolen from a vehicle.
Romero was charged with misdemeanor battery on a household member in 2017 but the charges were dropped.
'Our officers face some very dangerous situations here,' Police Chief Michael Geier said in a briefing Friday. 'These police officers put their lives on the line for the public, and I think that's what APD is about.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
