An investigation is underway in Nashville, Tennessee<\/a> on Monday after authorities say a police officer fatally shot a 47-year-old Black man who had pointed a gun at him.<\/p>\n

The fatal shooting occurred Sunday evening in North Nashville, when police responded to 911 calls from witnesses who said there was a man in the street with a gun. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation<\/a> said in a statement the man was shot after refusing to obey a police officer’s command to drop the weapon. The man was taken to a hospital, where he died. No officers were injured.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department<\/a> released audio recordings of two calls to 911, including one made by a person who said the man was walking the street armed and that “he needs to stop … before he gets something that he don’t need, because he’s pointing his gun, like seriously,” the caller said.<\/p>\n

According to body camera and police vehicle video released by the police department, Officer Dylan Ramos arrived first at the scene and can be seen approaching a man. The officer says “sir, sir” repeatedly. The man walks away, and moments later, the officer shouts: “Do not touch that! Drop the gun! Drop the gun!” Shots can then be heard. The first caller, who was still on the line with 911, can be heard shouting: “Don’t shoot him!”<\/p>\n

The entire interaction lasts about 20 seconds.<\/p>\n

The officers rendered aid to the man, who was taken to a hospital, where he died, police said. Police were trying to notify next of kin, and his name hasn’t been released. Ramos, a three-year veteran of the department, was placed on routine administrative assignment<\/a> while authorities investigate the shooting.<\/p>\n

“TBI agents are working to independently determine the series of events leading to the shooting, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews<\/a>,” the agency’s statement said. “The TBI acts solely as fact-finders in its cases and does not determine whether the actions of an officer were justified in these types of matters.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the agency said it was also investigating a separate shooting in West Tennessee on Sunday involving the Dyer County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Deputies were trying to serve a warrant on a man who refused to leave his truck, the bureau said in a statement. After more than an hour of negotiation, “the encounter escalated and the deputy and individual exchanged gunfire<\/a>, resulting in the man being struck,” the TBI said. Terry L. Noel, 50, of Dyersburg was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n

The shootings came amid national calls for more police reform following the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist in Memphis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Five Black officers involved in the Jan. 7 beating were charged last week with murder and other crimes in Nichols\u2019 death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
