Body Cam Footage Shows Phoenix Police Kill Armed Man Holding His Baby

Another person’s death in the hands of the police was caught on a cop’s bodycam in Phoenix, AZ and the footage has just been released.

On January 9, a man allegedly took his child hostage at a local motel after an argument with the child’s mother. The man, 37-year-old Paul Bolden, was reportedly abusing his girlfriend when police were called by the motel’s manager. Police say Bolden shot at them with his weapon when they arrived on the scene. He allegedly pointed the gun at the baby, then a bystander, which prompted police to fire one response shot, which killed Bolden.
