Salt Lake City, Utah — The Salt Lake City Police Department released body-worn camera footage of the officer-involved critical incident that occurred on June 10, 2021. At 8:36 a.m. SLC911 received a call from a witness indicating a woman had been stabbed at Pioneer Park. The witness indicated the woman had serious injuries to her arm and stomach and was bleeding heavily. SLC Fire arrived at 8:44 a.m. Due to the severity of the woman’s injuries, SLC Fire immediately began life saving efforts instead of waiting for police to arrive. As the officers approached the scene, witnesses and SLC Fire personnel pointed out a possible suspect who was still in Pioneer Park. The two officers walked towards the male. Almost immediately the male, who had been sitting by a tree, stood up. One of the officers saw the male had a knife in his hand and told the second officer he could see a knife. The male slowly walked towards the first officer, who was giving commands to “drop the knife”. The suspect sprinted towards the second officer. The officers continued to give verbal commands to “drop it”, “drop the knife” and “stop”. The male continued running towards the second officer with the knife in his right hand. Both officers fired their handguns at the male. The subject was shot and then fell to the ground within a few feet of the second officer who tripped and fell. Officers immediately requested medical assistance over the radio, and less than two minutes later SLC Fire paramedics, who were on scene treating the stabbing victim, came to render medical aid to the male. The man was later identified as Rezek Yaqub Yahya, 39. Show more
