Alvarez was found to have had a mobile phone in one hand, and a gun in the other. At no point is he seen on video aiming his gun at police. As he ran, he appeared to attempt to use his phone, however.
The police board ultimately concluded that video shows Alvarez stumbling, and he “was attempting to regain his footing—not positioning himself to take a shot at the officers.”
