Austin Police are holding off on releasing Police footage of the officer involved shooting of 22-year-old Jordan Walton back in February.
They expect to release that footage no later than June 4th.
Officer reports show they were called to an East Austin home near Rogge Lane and Manor Road about a man who drove a jeep into the house and then ran away.
APD later received a separate call from another nearby home about a break in. When officers arrived there they heard a disturbance inside and forced there way inside, they were met with gunfire from the suspect, and a fire fight ensued, ending with a SWAT standoff.
They say that standoff later ended when the suspect came out holding a child hostage. One SWAT officer then shot and killed Walton. The child and female were unharmed.
the officers involved in the shootings are, Officer Jeffrey Hutchison – 8 years of service with APD and Officer Ryan Nichols – 13 years of service with APD.
