S.A. 15-005 <br />Investigator: R. SMITH Approved By: <br />Date of Report:7/1/15 Date: 07/08/2015 <br />Page 22 of 27 <br />ENRIQUEZ: Right way when he exited the driver’s side and ha-, both feet were on the <br />ground…bein’ that hi-, the gun was being held in the left hand and again <br />my positioning where I was at, a clear, unobstructed view when he exited <br />the vehicle facing west.

Um…were there more <br />commands given at that time as-, when he started to turn of, drop the <br />weapon? <br />ENRIQUEZ: Yes. <br />SMITH: Besides you identifying that, um, did you state, drop the weapon, or were <br />you just letting one officer or, or another officer make those commands? <br />ENRIQUEZ: I let another officer make that command. <br />SMITH: And just for clarification’s sake.

Um, if, uh…multiple people are giving different commands it <br />can be misunderstood, people can get confused and they panic. So it’s in <br />our best practice that we have someone, whether it’s been assigned or
