<p>Calexico PD Releases Video of Fatal Shooting of Man with Knife</p>
<p>CALEXICO — As police shouted for 65-year-old Manuel Rojas Barajas to drop a knife he had just slashed another man with, an unidentified officer opened fire and put four bullets in the homeless man’s upper torso, the body-cam footage released by the Calexico Police Department on Tuesday, March 1 shows.</p>
<p>After, Barajas could be seen slowly moving to the knee-high brick wall that surrounds the bus stop at Third Street and Paulin Avenue, sitting on the wall for several seconds before collapsing to the ground as officers surround him, removing the knife tethered to his right wrist, and rendering aid.</p>
<p>Barajas would be pronounced dead at El Centro Regional Medical Center at short time later. The date was June 14.</p>
<p>Some eight months after Public Records Act requests to release both the body-cam footage and the 911 calls from the shooting, police have relented and prepared a video in which Police Chief Gonzalo Gerardo speaks briefly before ceding the bulk of the presentation to Sgt. Manuel Ceja, who narrates the harrowing 911 call and tense, ultimately gruesome footage of Barajas’ shooting.</p>
