MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – The Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) has released the video from the body-worn camera of a deputy who shot a dirt bike rider earlier this week.

The dirt bike rider was identified as 26-year-old Rasheem Edwards. He died later at the hospital from the gunshot wounds.

The incident happened on Tuesday, Oct. 24, around 7:15 p.m. near the intersection of Southeast Maricamp and Emerald Roads.

The video which is posted on the MCSO Facebook page begins with an onscreen warning and is four minutes and 16 seconds long. It has been produced with on-screen captions to explain the situation from the law enforcement point of view.

The deputy initiated the traffic stop because the motorcycle Edwards was driving is not street legal in Florida.

You can hear the exchange in the video after the deputy instructs Edwards to stay put:

Deputy: “You know you’re not supposed to drive this on the road. It’s not registered, right?”

Edwards: “No,” Edwards responds and references 50ccs, the dirt bike’s engine size.

Deputy: “You’re driving around with no registration, nothing at all?”

Edwards: “I was just going to the gas station.”

The deputy asks Edwards for identification. Initially, Edwards says he doesn’t have his license but indicates he has his bank card. He searches a bag and produces a photo ID that he says is his brother’s Jamaican ID.

The deputy presses him for identification, even going to his cruiser to get a flashlight he says so Edwards can better search his bag.

Deputy: “You’re not supposed to be driving down the road, man.”

Edwards: “I know. I was going to turn right here and ride through the grass.”

Edwards searches his bag for a few seconds more and ultimately says he doesn’t have it on him. At that point, the deputy instructs him to get off the bike and put his hands on the car. When the deputy asks him if he has any weapons, Edwards starts to walk back toward his bike.

The deputy instructs him multiple times to come back, put his hands on the car and spread his feet.

Deputy: “Don’t move, bro.”

At that point, Edwards takes off running.

Deputy (to dispatch): “I got one running.”

The on-screen text indicates that while running Edwards drew a gun he had on his hip.

Deputy: “Let me see your hands. Stop. Let me see your hands.”

At that point, the sheriff’s office slows the video down and isolates an image of the gun stating that Edwards dropped it. They say he dove toward the gun and rearmed himself. They isolate two shots to demonstrate Edwards’ possession of the gun and then return the video to real-time speed.

At that point, the deputy fires what sounds like five times, hitting Edwards. The deputy radios dispatch.

Deputy: “Shots fired. Shots fired.”

Edwards is on the ground and you can see a gun to his right.

Deputy: “Let me see your hands.”

Edwards begins to turn over and a nearby citizen kicks the gun away.  The deputy instructs the citizen to stay away.

The deputy instructs Edwards to put his hands behind his back. Edwards pleads to let him make a call.

The video ends seconds later.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is investigating the shooting. The deputy is on paid administrative leave which is standard practice.

MCSO says Edwards was a convicted felon. He was convicted of attempted burglary in New York and was therefore illegal for him to possess a firearm.

The deputy has invoked Marsy’s Law which protects victims of a criminal offense and is not being identified at this time.
