On January 24 at 2:40 p.m., a woman contacted the Des Moines Police Department to report that Brandon Mitchell, a wanted individual who had removed his ankle monitor, was at her neighbor’s residence. Concerned for her neighbor’s safety, she explained that Mitchell had previously broken into the home earlier in the month and threatened to kill her. As officers responded to the residence, they learned that Brandon Mitchell had a history of felonies, domestic violence arrests, and violent tendencies and was known to be armed. A woman informed them that Mitchell was leaving the house, but when officers arrived, he fled back inside. The homeowner, Mitchell’s girlfriend, later came outside, secured her pets, and gave officers permission to enter and arrest him. Officers, accompanied by a K-9 unit, searched the home and found Mitchell hiding in a bedroom closet. When ordered to surrender, he remained silent. As an officer secured the K-9, Mitchell claimed three times that he had a gun and motioned toward his waist, prompting officers to take cover. Moments later, he moved toward the closet door and raised his arm in an aiming motion. The officers heard a loud “boom” that sounded like a gunshot, and they opened fire into the closet. Despite being wounded, Mitchell refused to surrender and told officers to “kill me.” When they entered with a shield, they found he was unarmed. The “boom” was later determined to be the sound of shattering glass. Mitchell was taken for medical attention but later died from his injuries. 0:00 - Events description 0:43 - Officer 1 bodycam 2:02 - Officer 2 bodycam 3:24 - Dog finds the suspect 3:50 - Shooting 4:12 - Aftermath #DesMoines #PoliceShooting #BrandonMitchell #LawEnforcement #CrimeNews #BreakingNews #OfficerInvolvedShooting #PublicSafety #FugitiveArrest #PoliceInvestigation #DesMoinesNews #IowaCrime #PoliceResponse #CrimeUpdate #LawEnforcementNews #WantedFugitive #DomesticViolence #PoliceK9 #SelfDefense #UseOfForce #CrimeReport #OfficerSafety #BreakingCrimeNews #LegalUpdates #PublicSafetyAlert #PoliceInvestigationUpdate #NewsCoverage #GunViolence #CriminalJustice #EmergencyResponse Disclaimer: The following content contains graphic scenes of violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.
