Real World Police is proud to exclusively bring you this intense footage. None of what you are about to see has ever been published elsewhere. On Monday, October 16, 2017, at approximately 0228 hours, Orlando Police Corporal Chris Ehlers was patrolling the area of Rosewood Way and Cinderlane Parkway on a police mountain bike when he encountered a black male - later identified as Dracarris Mandel Hill - jaywalking. Ehlers began a consensual encounter with Hill, who provided Ehlers his Florida identification card. During the encounter, Hill, a convicted felon, removed a firearm from his right waistband area / front pocket of his pants and ran from Corporal Ehlers, who immediately gave chase. During the foot pursuit, Hill discharged his firearm at Ehlers, who returned fire. The chase continued and Hill was located by assisting officers who took him into custody. Hill was found with a single gunshot wound to his right leg and was transported to the hospital for treatment. Hill's firearm, his blue and black wallet, and cell phone were located in the same area he was taken into custody. A check of Hill's criminal history showed he was adjudicated guilty for the second degree felony of Burglary of a Dwelling as well as the third degree felony of grand theft. As a convicted felon, Hill was prohibited from possessing a firearm. Based on this information, probable cause was established to charge Hill with possessing a firearm while a convicted felon. Because Hill's firearm was initially concealed from Ehlers’ view, probable cause was established to charge Hill with carrying a concealed firearm. Hill's actions of running from Ehlers hindered his ability to conduct a lawful investigation, which - when combined with the fact that Hill shot at Ehlers - established probable cause to charge Hill with resisting an officer with violence. Because Hill shot at Ehlers while he was engaged in his lawful duties as a police officer, probable cause was established to charge Hill with attempted murder on a law enforcement officer with a firearm. The entire encounter was captured by Ehlers body worn camera. This is the first time any of this footage is being made publicly available. ~~~ Follow us on Twitter @realworldpolice ~~~ Real World Police is a proud supporter of the Florida First Amendment Foundation, protecting and advancing the public’s constitutional right to open government. ~~~ Do you have independently verifiable inside information on a story we are or should be covering?
