On the evening of August 11, 2014, 20-year-old Dillon Taylor was fatally shot by Salt Lake City Police Officer Bron Cruz outside a 7-Eleven near 2100 South and State Street. Police were responding to a 911 call that a man had flashed a gun; officers located Taylor with his brother and cousin and approached. Taylor, wearing earbuds, did not immediately comply and walked away with his hands near his waistband. Officer Cruz fired two shots, and a search found Taylor unarmed.

The Salt Lake County District Attorney, Sim Gill, ruled the shooting legally justified, saying Officer Cruz’s belief that Taylor was reaching for a weapon was reasonable, and cited officer body camera footage. Taylor’s family said he was only pulling up his pants and filed a civil rights lawsuit against Salt Lake City, the city of South Salt Lake, and several officers. A federal judge granted Officer Cruz qualified immunity, a decision later upheld by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Are there details from that night or the scene that anyone can add to help clarify what happened?
