A Stolen Beer, a Taser Grab, and a Fatal Shot | Full Bodycam Breakdown A stolen beer at a New Mexico gas station turns into a deadly police shooting — and later, a criminal conviction. In this full bodycam breakdown, we walk through the complete timeline of a case that started as a minor theft and ended with one man dead and a police officer charged with voluntary manslaughter. The incident began when a gas station clerk reported a man walking out with a beer and refusing to pay. When police arrived, the situation escalated after the suspect failed to provide valid identification and gave a name that did not return in the system. As officers attempted to detain him, a physical struggle broke out. According to police statements, the suspect had a knife on his lap and later grabbed an officer’s taser during the fight. Seconds after that, Officer Brad Lunsford fired a single shot, killing the suspect at the scene. Investigators with the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office later concluded that the use of deadly force was not reasonable under the circumstances and that less-lethal options were available. A jury convicted the officer of voluntary manslaughter, though the case was later granted a new trial due to juror issues.
