According to HPD, officers responded to reports of a shooting in progress just after 9 p.m. on Feb. 22. The caller said a man had fired a gun into her hotel room.
When HPD personnel arrived, they found Luis Guerrero outside the hotel carrying a rifle.
In the released footage, officers can be heard shouting for Guerrero to drop his weapon. Surveillance video shows Guerrero ignoring the commands, lifting the rifle, and pointing it toward them.
Seconds later, three officers opened fire. Officers immediately rushed to Guerrero and, after disarming him, began rendering aid. HPD confirmed that he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman inside the hotel was treated for an injury from an apparent graze from a gunshot. It is unclear whether she was the same woman Guerrero had targeted.
