On December 3, around 3:15 p.m., SAPD officer James Lopez attempted to stop 33-year-old Jeffrey Schopp in the 8500 block of Jones Maltsberger Road. In the video, Lopez calls out to Schopp, asking him to come over. Schopp responds, "Yes, sir. What’s up, sir?" Lopez instructs Schopp to jump over a railing and stand in front of the patrol vehicle, but Schopp sits on the railing and asks, “Am I under arrest?” Lopez informs Schopp he is being detained for jaywalking and orders him to walk over. Schopp apologizes, but Lopez raises his voice, telling him to move or face handcuffs. The situation escalates when Schopp continues to apologize, prompting Lopez to shout, “I ain’t listening to s---. Come here now.” Schopp then drops his backpack and runs across the street, with Lopez giving chase. The pursuit continued through a field and near a drainage ditch. Lopez can be heard threatening to use a taser on Schopp. According to an SAPD report, Lopez, fearing for the safety of other officers, fired multiple shots at Schopp as he ran. Authorities later said Schopp raised a gun, prompting Lopez to fire more shots. In the video, Lopez tells assisting officers Schopp had a gun. As Schopp crossed the drainage ditch, Lopez shot him three more times, striking him. However, police later confirmed that Schopp fatally shot himself in the head during the exchange. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Lopez, who was not injured, fired a total of 14 shots during the incident. He has been with SAPD for four years. 0:00 - Preview 0:22 - Summary of events 0:50 - Officer Lopez bodycam 1:58 - Officer #2 bodycam 2:24 - Officer Lopez final pursuit & shooting 3:24 - What happened?
