Phoenix police released footage Tuesday of an officer-involved incident from November in which former NFL defensive lineman Ekom Udofia was shot and killed.
The incident occurred in the wee hours of Nov. 30 near Interstate 17, police Sgt. Mercedes Fortune said at the time. Police said the 33-year-old ex-pro football player was in the road trying to get hit by cars as he was armed and pointing a gun at passersby, according to FOX10 Phoenix.
Police said Udofia pointed his gun at officers, prompting police to shoot him, and as he was on the ground he refused to drop his gun, according to the station.
Udofia reportedly raised his gun again toward officers and was shot. He was later taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
