Denver Police Shoot Jordan Waddy and Six Bystanders, July 17, 2022
Three Denver police officers shot Jordan Waddy and six bystanders near 20th and Larimer streets in Denver's Lower Downtown district about 1:35 a.m. on July 17, 2022, as bars were letting out. Police said Waddy, 21, pulled a handgun. Body-camera video appeared to show him throwing the gun away as officers began firing. He did not fire. Body-camera and overhead footage captured the crowded street and people scattering during the shooting. A grand jury indicted Officer Brandon Ramos in January 2023 over his decision to fire with a crowd behind Waddy and no clear line of fire. The other two officers' actions were found legally justified, and they were not charged. Ramos pleaded guilty to misdemeanor third-degree assault in January 2024 and received 18 months' probation. Waddy pleaded guilty to a weapons-possession charge and was sentenced in February 2024 to 30 months in prison. |
