Tulsa Police released body cam video from the night officers shot and killed a 15-year-old robbery suspect. Tulsa Police said a man was cashing a check at the PLS Check Cashers near Pine and Lewis on February 4, when the suspect pointed a pistol at him and demanded money.

Police said the victim gave up the money and the suspect tried to rob a second person, but that person didn't have any money. The suspect got on a bicycle and left.

Officers said he was wearing all black with a ski mask and eventually ditched the bike and started running. That's when officers started giving demands.

Police said he didn't respond and pulled a pistol from his waistband. Tulsa Police said that forced the officers to shoot.

Officers say after being hit, the suspect dropped his weapon.

Tulsa Police say they secured the weapon and began performing first aid until EMSA arrived. The suspect died at the hospital.

The district attorney's office said, after reviewing the video and seeing the suspect pull a gun on officers, they've verbally cleared the officers but haven't released their full report yet.
