PHOENIX -- "Video released Tuesday shows officers responding to a report of someone pointing a gun from the window of an Arizona hotel, but a judge barred the release of additional footage showing an officer later shooting and killing an unarmed man at the scene. . .
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sam Myers ordered portions of the video released after Shaver's widow and news organizations called for it to be unsealed as a way to hold police accountable and serve the public interest.
However, the order bars the public release of the face-to-face encounter between officers and Shaver until Brailsford's case is resolved.
Investigators said in police records and in court that the video shows Shaver on the ground outside his room as he is ordered to crawl toward officers and tearfully pleads with them not to kill him. Officers at the scene say they believed Shaver was reaching for a gun.
No weapons were recovered from Shaver's body . . ."
