SALT LAKE CITY — Newly-released body camera video shows what led to a Salt Lake City police officer shooting one of two suspects who earlier drove away from a Utah Highway Patrol trooper.

On June 29, officers were called in to assist in locating the suspects, 51-year-old Bobby Joe Caster and 39-year-old Jack Colonna, after the trooper noticed the truck they were in was speeding with equipment violations. As the trooper turned around to perform a traffic stop, the truck drove away. The body camera video footage shows officers tracking the suspects through heavy grass in a field. As a K9 handler finds Caster, another officer is seen drawing his firearm and instantly firing one round towards the suspect.

Paramedics treated Caster on the scene for a gunshot wound to his hand before he was booked in the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on a federal hold. Colonna was later located and arrested without incident on outstanding warrants.
