California prosecutors have released intense body camera video showing the moment a suspect opened fire at an officer before his partner responded, striking the individual in the head.

The shooting that resulted in the death of 22-year-old Matthew-Tuan Ahn Tran occurred on August 6, 2021 in front of the La Habra Police Department headquarters in the Los Angeles area.

A woman called 911 that night to report that Tran, whom she had never seen before, was following her closely and following her on her way home from work, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office says. La Habra dispatchers directed the driver to stop in front of the police station. Tran followed, parking his vehicle behind the woman’s before getting out and walking toward the building doors.

Matthew-Tuan Ahn Tran is seen opening fire on a La Habra Police Department officer before being shot.

“Uh, I’m dating someone right now,” Tran replies.

After asking Tran if he is associated with the two cars parked outside the driveway, which Tran says he is not, Milward’s body cam shows him walking back towards the vehicles.

“Well, they’ll have you in a second, okay?” he says.

The footage then shows Milward turning around to reveal Tran pointing a gun at him. Tran then opens fire.

After being hit by a bullet, Milward falls to the ground and is heard groaning in pain.

Prosecutors say that “a bullet pierced Officer Milward’s bulletproof vest and struck him in the upper right part of the chest,” but that he would later “recover from the shot.”

Milward’s partner, Officer Abigail Fox, “drew her weapon and fired five rounds in rapid succession at Tran,” one of which “struck him in the head and caused him to fall to the ground,” the District Attorney’s Office said. of Orange County.

More police and first responders arrived and Tran, after being disarmed and handcuffed, was pronounced dead at the scene.
