Another video from a cell phone taken moments before the shootout appears to show an innocent man briefly stuck between Chadwell and officers.

The entire incident started at a nearby Home Depot when Chadwell shot a security guard in the head.

Investigators said he ran to a nearby neighborhood where he shot a police officer in the shoulder, which led to that deadly confrontation.
