PORTLAND, Ore.
Two police officers raised their weapons while sheltering behind a tree in a Portland, Ore., park. They yelled at a homeless man to put up his hands. Moments later, two shots rang out. The man collapsed onto the grassy field.
A replica gun with an orange tip was found at the scene April 16. But some key details are unclear, including whether the fake weapon was in Robert Delgado’s possession during the deadly encounter, or if he pointed it at officers.
Police have been tight-lipped, citing an ongoing investigation, and the only video from the scene 11 minutes of video taken by bystanders, not officers shows just a portion of what happened.
