On May 26th, 2025, Bloomfield officer Daniel Weaver, new to the department with two months of service, but over four years prior experience, stopped a vehicle at a gas station after scanning the license plate and finding it was suspended for insurance issues. >> I didn't know that. I'm sorry. >> That's okay. Do you have your license registration? >> I have my license before I left the house. I don't know where >> Okay. Do you have any kind of ID on you? >> No. >> No. You have a driver's license, though? >> Yes. >> We have insurance on the vehicle. working on getting registration. >> Um, that it's just a receipt. Huh? >> No, this shows the vehicle with the VIN number. If you look it up and see, >> can I get your ID as well? You don't have your seat belt almost. >> I just took it up. >> You just unbuckled. >> Could I see your ID? I didn't see you unbuckled. So, for just a second, guys. We'll be right back with you. Okay. >> As officer Weaver runs their information, officer Timothy Onto patrols nearby. Anttoveros has 6 months with Bloomfield Police and a year and a half of total experience. During Ontoveris's patrol, a civilian driver with dash and cab cameras voices his opinions of police seemingly to himself. >> I was doing 35 miles an hour and this officer was falling. Why do you think he was? Because he's a per means he's allowed to get in my pants. You think he might have been out to you? Yeah. Perhaps some fear for your wife. He's an armed thug, isn't he? Well, I haven't Well, I haven't. >> That's not an editing error. The civilian repeats the sentence as if recording a second take. Officer Ontiveros, unaware of the civilian's comments, sees their passenger headlight out, prompting a traffic stop. >> Oh, what now? >> 3113 1054. >> And we will do it again. >> Meanwhile, officer Weaver makes a discovery about his own pulled over driver. >> Surrender 269. With only a surrendered license in the system, officer Weaver can only assume the driver is unlicensed. As Weaver presumably writes these citations, Officer Ottoos approaches his own stopped civilian. >> Hello, Officer Sar Blue Police. >> Yes, sir. >> You mind rolling down your window so I can talk to you? >> I can hear you just fine, thank you. Okay. So, the reason why I pulled you over is you ain't got a headlight. >> I saw it burn out on the way in. >> Okay, that's fine. So, you're aware you don't have a headlight? >> Well, what I'm aware of is that it burned out when >> you got your driver's license, registration, insurance. >> You want to go to court? Do you want to pay a fine? Stupid paper. >> So, you don't want to roll down your window so I can hear you better. >> Go ahead and pass it out. >> Uh, no. I'm not going to be doing that. Thank you. >> Okay. So, this is how it's going to work. That is a criminal offense. You have to provide your ID. If not, you're now concealing ID. We're going to take you to jail. Your choice. New Mexico state law. >> Okay. >> The license is supposed to be provided and exhibited. It does not say I have to hang you. >> Okay, that's fine. >> There it is. >> That's fine. I'll get in just a second. >> Stay tight. Hey, you guys are good to go. You don't have a license, okay? So, swap with him if he's good to drive. Okay, your license is surrendered. Luckily for these civilians, they are released without citations due to officer Antiviveros calling for backup. >> So, you don't want to hand me your ID? I'm going to ask you one more time. >> The law says it must be provided and exhibited. It does not say I have to hand you anything. >> I pulled a vehicle over for no headlight and he's not wanting to give me his ID. >> Mexico City law says you don't have to. >> It says provided and exhibited and nowhere in all four pages of it. Great. So, you're 104 for now or do we need the ID? >> 104 for now. I'll just sit with them until I can get an ID and write them in my ticket. >> Right there. >> That's the law. >> 29. Let me know if you'll meet me over there. >> Well done. >> Just like I said, headlight is a criminal offense. This is the reason why I pulled you over. If you read your state statute, it says you have to provide identification when a crime is being committed or has been committed. >> A burned out headlight is an ordinance violation. >> That's not a crime. >> A headlight is a state. It's city state. It's everywhere. >> State law still says provided and exhibited. It does not say I have to hand you anything as well. >> I'm not concealing anything. It's right there in front. I asked for your information >> and I am providing it and exhibiting it exactly as the law says. >> That is perfectly fine. >> Good. >> So, you know what happens, right? If you don't provide your information, you >> right there in front of you. >> You go to a judge immediately. Correct. >> That's not true either. >> Okay. >> I am within the law unless provided and exhibited and you know it. >> Okay. >> You're just trying to get around it and I'm not going to play your game. >> I just want to make sure you're aware of all of this. What I'm aware of is that you're trying to be a tyrannical egoomaniacal badge badge thug and I'm not going to let you get away with it. I'm holding you to the law. You don't like the letter of the law. That's your problem. >> That's perfectly fine. >> We'll see about that. >> Officer Antiviveros and the subject wait silently as Officer Weaver arrives before speaking to the civilian. Weaver places stops under their truck in case he attempts to flee. >> Passenger headlight. Thank you. Roll your window down. >> It's down enough. Thank you. >> Roll your window all the way down. >> It is down enough. >> Thank you. >> You can bluster in fume till your eyes burst out of your head. And I am not breaking the law by doing that. And you do know it. >> Okay. I'm Officer Weaver. Okay. What's your name? >> I'm providing it right there. >> You need to provide it in my hand. The law says provided and exhibited. And in all five pages of it, nowhere does it say I have to hand it to you or surrender it to you. >> You do not want you are violating the law. >> I'm going to break your window out. Roll your window down. >> I have done my job according to the law provided an exhibit. Go to that and I'll sit here. I don't I don't really s this is your last warning to let the window down. >> Officer, I am within the law. >> You You are not Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You're not because a crime is being committed. So, you have to provide identification >> and I am providing it and I am exhibiting it according to state law. >> So, when an officer is provided, >> it's covered. >> Officers point out that his license is physically covered with a sticker. Post incident police reports indicate the sticker covered his name and address. >> The name is covered because of too many bad slugs that like to do that name run routine that I'm all too familiar with with you guys. You take the name, you run just the name. >> Roll down the window right now. >> You run just the name. >> We're breaking this window. Officer Weaver smashed the subject's window 6 minutes and 25 seconds after the first words of the stop were exchanged and less than 2 minutes after he approached the vehicle himself. >> Back up, dude. >> 29. Give me a second. I'll be right down. Sergeant Michael Wells, who is assisting another officer with an unrelated DWI investigation, leaves to respond to the escalating situation with Weaver and Ontario. >> You got a window breaker? >> Yeah, let's pop it. >> Pop it, dude. Let's pop it. >> The police report notes the sound captured on the subject's incar camera is, quote, "An unbuckling of a holster strap and the clear sound of a firearm being pulled." >> I don't think so. >> So, are you going to provide your information? >> What are we doing? I have provided my information. >> Hand me your driver's license. >> I am not going to hand you a driver's license so you can do that name run routine and attempt to set me up with somebody else's warrant. That is exactly what you do. They take the name. They run just the name. >> Then they look for any name like it that has a warrant that's even similar to the name David Reer versus the state of Pennsylvania. That's what they proved. While no case was found under David Reer versus Pennsylvania, his description of the case sounds like David Sosa versus Florida, where a man who shared names with a wanted individual was repeatedly misidentified, arrested, and held in jail despite informing officers. The court sided with the officers in that case. >> They caught him on camera doing it. They ran just the name in an attempt to get away. I believe this is high strength plexiglass because this is a four-wheel drive vehicle. It probably will break eventually. >> I don't understand your problems. I'm the one within the law. >> Because >> if you want to break the law on me, I will treat you like the criminal thug that you are. >> So, you're going to open it? >> I am not going to open my window. I'm I'm doing what the law says. >> You might want to get your sergeant out here. >> I am providing my information. >> Are you guys on Jordan or on the runway? >> We're right at the intersection. My window breaker is not working. So maybe yours will. >> I'm sorry you're having such a problem here, officer. But that is the letter of the law provided and exhibited. That's an ordinance violation, not a crime. >> No, it is a crime. Your headlight is a crime. That's the reason why I'm trying to make contact. The shooting begins just before Sergeant Wells arrives. Unaware, he sends this message over the radio while the shooting unfolds. Right on. See if we can explain it a little there. >> Just 9 minutes and 13 seconds passed from officer Ontiveros initiating the traffic stop to the first shots fired by the subject. We have opted to include some images of the first aid provided due to the educational value of treating a gunshot wound. However, we do not show close-up images of gunshot victims. 29 shots fired. Got fired on the barrels. Where you at? Where you at? 3105 send us 55 1018. Sergeant, you work on Ontario. I'm watching this guy. >> Sergeant Wells started his first responder career as an EMT and has actively maintained his medical license for roughly 18 years, making him the ideal officer to aid on. >> If you move, you're going to be shot. Don'ting move. Don'ting move. >> Sergeant, I got you. I'm coming. I can see him. 3105, get us 55 penny team. One officer down. >> Damn, I got you, man. I got you. >> At this point, multiple officers abandon their citations and other duties to rush to the scene. >> Okay, I am going to have to let you go. We have a shooting coming out right now. So, don't don't worry about your son. He's not in any trouble. You have a wonderful evening. Okay. >> 41 officer down below. You got about four units in front of you. >> If you move, you're going to be shot again. Do you understand me? Do not move. >> I got you, man. 105. I've got an officer shot in the neck and you'll notify 3905. Jim, I got you, bro. Driver 7. I'm not able to render aid right now at this point. Jim, jam. Jam. Cam. Jim, stay with me, bro. >> Prioritizing the shooting, this officer releases a DWI suspect. >> Get out. Hey, sir. All right. You and I drive home. I'm going to hold on to your car keys. Is everything okay? >> No. Here's your keys. Here's your phone. Okay. Thank you, sir. I put all your paperwork inside the car. I'm not driving on your property. >> Hey, Tim. Hey, Tim. I secured my uh driver's vehicle. >> Tim, stay with me, bro. Hey, Sergeant, we need to get him back as soon as they can. Okay. Medics and fire are coming to you. Sergeant Lynch, when you get here, I need you to secure my shotgun that's on the ground next to me. Is he gone? No, he's not conscious. He's angal respir braces. I got a bullet hole here. Left chest. I've got one right in the neck. Is that okay? >> Boss, is there any way you can move in away from the truck? >> Yeah, just a minute. We I got I'm holding pressure on his back, bro. >> Okay, I got you. I got you. That's me. That's me. Don't worry. ready grab. We need to drag out the other arm. Other arm right in the neck. Right in the middle of the neck. One on the side of the chest. Let's start right there. >> Are you good? Are you good? Are you good? You sweep yourself. >> No, you got him. Sweet. Yeah. Pretty bad. >> 1 2 3. Go. We're going to need a traffic blocked off by Sunray Andrea and all those lines headed to the hospital. >> Uh driver in the truck obviously. >> I know what you're doing, but >> am I heading anywhere? I don't see you hit anywhere. >> So they can get to the hospital if you want to escort him. >> 141. I'll escort. All right. You're transporting now. We can get the traffic blocked off. Hey, do I need that guy? >> Uh I mean you can take a quick peek if you want. All right. Um flip around. We're going to escort them. Okay. Right here. >> I also need to walk around. Okay. And make sure we don't have anything struck anywhere. >> Okay. We're going to get in front of the ambulance >> and we're going to go clear. Yeah. We're going to help clear intersection so we can go straight away. >> Yeah. You're clear. And then just get between them. >> All right. Crowded. >> Yeah. Where you want hole in your back? Yeah. If you don't feel nothing, that's okay. You shot. Okay. You okay? Super. Yeah. In the left lane now that the ambulance made room for you. >> Okay. I'm going to shut down your camera. I'm so worried about him, dude. Yeah, >> that casing was on his belt. >> Okay. Was it? >> Yep. It was right above his belt. >> I'm I'm okay. Okay. >> Okay. I'm going to drive it. >> I need you to go jump in here. >> I'm going to drive your car. Hey, is your car unlocked? >> Go jump in. You stay behind the ambulance. >> Okay. >> Okay. Come on. Let's go. >> I know he has a big drugs in his arm. You call your wife later. You're okay. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I've got Dylan here. There was a shooting. I'm okay. Yeah. All right, I'm okay.

I love you. >> Y a little later, but I just want you to know that I'm okay. So, he's going to stop for this intersection. You're going to keep going through it once you clear it. We're going to leap for it and keep this going. He'll eventually catch up and get behind you like you did with me. Okay. Certainly an out west. >> RLP is on the way in, but he's going to be in a private auto. Heat. Heat. Yeah. Sorry you had to do that. I didn't want him crazy. No, it's okay. >> Sorry. the shots were fired from. I went to go uh I only need the very very basic which way start approximately how many five or six back [Applause] 118 right now 21308 [Applause] I'll release Go for yourself.

Yeah, I mean you can maybe over there in that. >> What is wrong with this guy? >> The one on the truck. >> Yeah, dictated. >> He was failing to provide to do anything. before you start the other one. There's a ton of them working on dude. Dude, I have this key. Whatever. I parked that. I was like, "Hey, I got to go. You're out of here, man. Have a good night. You feel happy? >> Yeah. She's like, "Oh, what? >> I'll buy you some." >> What am I going to do with you guys? My cars out. >> Yeah. Yeah. Don't Don't worry. That's the oldest one. So, I think it's a little more than a chewing knife. I should have brought two packs. >> I can have my wife bring some cigars. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. Mix in some questions here with jokes. What do you guys need from us? What do you need from us? What do you need? Talking anything? Tell me what you need. We'll get right. >> Officers interviewed neighbors and one woman said she knew Dennis through his parents. is the person deceased. He struggles very nice man who lives with his parents even though he's in his 50s. He's quasi immature. I don't want to get him in trouble, but he is kind of sort of mental. He carries knives, sometimes wears the knives on himself. He has been arrested by just compens. >> The next morning, officer Antiviveros remained in the hospital while officials searched Dennis's vehicle, uncovering 18 knives, 10 axes, three hammers, a mace fashioned from 1-in piping, a machete, and a coyote trap. >> All the crap and grab it. I know she's taking a picture of this freaking trap here. >> Was it set? >> Yeah, really? It was set right here. And so I got I got to use a stick to secure it so we didn't accidentally touch it. >> Officers also reviewed Dennis's criminal record, noting charges for criminal trespass, resisting an attempted aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. In recent years, up to just a month before the incident, Dennis was charged for threatening retail, casino, medical staff, and even VA clinic workers. At the VA clinic, he allegedly waited in line with an axe slung over his shoulder, telling the clerk, "We do this my way or your way." He often called police himself, sharing he was armed and angry, keeping everyone safe, and that if he wasn't, a coroner would be needed. Victims also reported he threatened to return with an AR-15 and shoot everyone. The police report also notes a key detail about Dennis's vehicle. The headlight that prompted the stop was not just inoperable, the housing was physically broken. Investigators speculated Dennis may have tampered with it beforehand, combined with his self-recordings and his clear disdain for the local department. The report suggests Dennis may have been seeking an incident that night. In a post incident interview, Dennis's father said it was inevitable, adding he thought Dennis would shoot someone but never expected it to be a police officer. About a week after on June 1st, 2025, officer Timothy Antiviveros passed away. His organs were donated, saving three lives. Reports post operation indicate the recipients are doing well. The investigation surrounding Dylan Weaver's conduct in the case is led by the San Juan County Sheriff's Office via their officer involved shooting task force. >> It's the stance of the 11th Judicial District Attorney's Office that we're going to start reading Miranda on all these. Bear with me real quick. You have your attorney with you, but you have the right to remain silent. You still have the right to stop answering anytime. >> Yes. >> Yeah. What type of training have you received in use of force or defensive actions? Starting out in the academy, completed basic SWAT school as well as an advanced tactical workshop, mandatory inservice training. >> What type of training have you had in verbal communication or CIT? >> Received the CIT, crisis intervention training um in the academy. I believe it's yearly yearly inservice in crisis intervention training. When I arrived, noticed that the male was concealing his identity as well as resisting for refusing to exit the vehicle or roll the window down. Even when I escalated and began attempting to break the window, he still failed to comply. I heard the shot. From that point, I remember feeling a fear for my life and a fear for Alberos's life. >> Since you've been a cop, you've had to draw your firearm, present it to people. >> Yes. >> And they've become compliant at that point. >> At that point, >> how did it make you feel personally to use the force you used? I I didn't I didn't have a feeling when using that. >> What information did you know about the suspect prior to this action? >> Nothing. >> As far as you know, you've never dealt with this individual? >> As far as I know. >> As of posting this video, the case remains under investigation.
