Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman said Raleigh police officers were justified in fatally shooting Daniel Turcios, who was shot on Interstate 440 after swinging a knife at officers.

They said Master Officer P.W. Coates should have de-escalated the situation that involved "someone having a mental health crisis."

Police Chief Estella Patterson said the fatally shooting took place Saturday afternoon after an officer observed a man setting cars on fire in a parking lot near the Southeast district station. She says the officer called for assistance, and three other officers came to help.

Video released Friday afternoon shows new angles of Daniel Turcios being tased and shot by Raleigh police after a car crash alongside Interstate 440 on January 11. Activists for police reform blame Raleigh police officers for escalating the situation, saying it could have been avoided.

Raleigh police officer A.A. Smith fired two shots at Daniel Turcios, then about five seconds later, fired another three shots. That's according to a report from the Raleigh police department that was released by the city Wednesday.

Police reform advocates say a Raleigh police officer shot Daniel Turcios multiple times, including after he was lying on the ground following a vehicle crash last week.
