The victim, Kheyanev Littledog, was first spotted by the police when the officers Aaron Renz, 26, and Aaron Trevino, 31, were dispatched to check out a suspicious individual.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw Littledog, who had a gun on his waistband. According to the statements issued by the local police, both witness statements and dash camera footage collaborate the fact the Littledog was reaching for his weapon, prompting the officers to react to the threat.

A second firearm was found in Littledog’s backpack at the time of the incident; he did not have a license to carry fire arms. Littledog had a history of criminal offenses, including criminal trespass for which he pleaded no contest, a drug possession and public intoxication.

According to the news sources, both Renz and Trevino were placed on administrative leave until an internal investigation is completed. Renz has been with the department for almost two years and Trevino for over seven.

You mentioned he didn't have a license to carry. Of course not. To be licensed, you must be 21 years old.

Don't these dumb kids know any better , how does it go . You don't tug on superman's cape , you don't pull the mask on the old lone ranger , and you don't mess around with the cops . Not if your the wrong shade . Did he actually pull the gun out and point it ?

Case in point the guy in San Angelo , was running around pointing his gun at every one . He even rushed out into the street , endangering every one . If what you say is true , then why didn't they smoke him when he first came out of his house , or even his yard . He didn't just reach for his gun , and it wasn't a toy gun either . Need i say more .
