Newly released cellphone footage appears to show Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies shooting a man in the back as he lies pinned to the ground. Last May, deputies stopped Noel Aguilar for riding his bike with headphones. Authorities initially claimed Aguilar shot one of the deputies as they were handcuffing him, but officials later revealed the shot came from the other deputy’s gun. Video just released by OC Weekly shows Aguilar, pinned to the ground, asking one of the deputies why he has his gun out. The deputy fires a shot into Aguilar’s stomach, then the second deputy fires three shots at Aguilar. An attorney for Aguilar’s family said the shooting “seems like it’s murder.”
