Hillsboro police on Tuesday released body camera footage of the tense seconds before an officer fired two shots and killed a man holding a gun in the department’s parking lot.

The police agency released the video in response to a public records request from The Oregonian/OregonLive.

In late January, the Washington County District Attorney’s Office concluded that the shooting of Jason Livengood, 39, was justified. The incident unfolded in the afternoon of Oct. 21.

Flugencio Osornio-Ambriz had driven to the police department after Livengood, a stranger, tailgated him for 42 miles, starting in Camas. Osornio-Ambriz feared for his safety and was looking for help, according to investigative reports.

Officer Bobby Voth’s body camera captured his interaction with the two men. The audio is not on at the start of the clip so it is unknown what Voth is saying, but the officer appears to motion to Osornio-Ambriz to move away.

Livengood is first seen standing against the building with his hands crossed at the waist. Then, as Osornio-Ambriz walks away, Livengood follows him. Livengood’s keeps hands near his waist and at one point he appears to reach toward his waistband. Voth tries to intervene, dropping his notebook as he tries to redirect Livengood.

Suddenly, Voth’s gun comes into view in the footage. Voth can be seen pointing the gun in Livengood’s direction as Livengood moves around in a restless manner. Voth momentarily presses the gun against Livengood’s back as the man continues to move toward Osornio-Ambriz.

The audio comes on about 35 seconds into the footage as Voth struggles to physically keep Livengood from advancing toward Osornio-Ambriz.

He orders Livengood to drop the gun five times. As Livengood continues toward Osornio-Ambriz, he breaks free of Voth’s grasp. At that point, Voth fires twice, striking Livengood in the center of his back. Livengood falls to the pavement. He died at the scene.

Police later determined the gun he was carrying was loaded.

Investigative reports show that Livengood’s family was concerned about his mental health. His girlfriend, Brittany McElroy, told police that Livengood had experienced the loss of a brother and grandmother and that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder related to a major car wreck in 2014.

Tests revealed that Livengood was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but he did test positive for amphetamines, which police believe was related to Adderall use, the report says.

McElroy told investigators that Livengood had recently experienced delusional and paranoid thoughts and believed McElroy was being controlled by a medical device. A notebook he kept contained a series of disjointed messages about the devil, red cars and the antichrist.

When Tualatin Police Department Detective Kevin Winfield told McElroy that Livengood began following Osornio-Ambriz in downtown Camas, she asked the color of his car, according to Winfield’s report. Winfield is a member of the Washington County major crimes team.

“I told her it was red,” Winfield wrote in his report. “She then paused again and then slumped her shoulders and said, ‘That’s it.’”

The day before, she told the detective, Livengood made a bizarre statement. “Red cars contain evil,” she said he told her.

Osornio-Ambriz drove a red Ford Explorer.
