** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** Police released dashcam video after an armed man was fatally shot by police Sunday in Wedgwood. Seattle police said two officers were investigating a suspicious car in the 2200 block of NE 85th Street when they encountered the man who was “clearly armed” and refused their commands. Police say the man died Sunday night at Harborview Medical Center. He has been identified as 46-year-old Che Taylor. Police say he is a convicted violent felon whose criminal history includes convictions for assault, robbery and rape. Detectives say Taylor stood at the passenger door of a white Ford Taurus as a marked patrol car pulled up. Officers can be seen approaching the car asking Taylor to show his hands and get on the ground. Officers and a witness say Taylor reached for his handgun before officers fired. Detectives recovered Taylor’s handgun. They said he was also in possession of what appeared to be cocaine and black tar heroin. Two other people were taken into custody. One of them was booked into King County Jail for possession of a “significant” quantity of heroin. The two officers involved in the shooting are on paid leave. Authorities are still investigating.
