Felony court proceedings are scheduled against six Oklahoma City police officers charged in two separate killings.
Video evidence shows Rodriguez had dropped his gun before the officers shot him. They fired after the teen lowered his hands towards his waist and reached into his back pocket.
A sixth officer, Sgt. Clifford Holman, faces charges for killing Bennie Edwards less than a month after the Rodriguez killing. Holman is scheduled for a similar hearing on August 13.
Edwards had a knife and ran towards officers but changed direction. He was running away from the police when Holman shot him in the back.
