Denver Police Department officials detailed two officer-involved shootings that occurred over the last two weeks, including an incident where two bystanders were injured by shrapnel.

Chief Ron Thomas and Major Crimes Division Commander Matt Clark met with media members Monday afternoon to discuss two separate shootings across the metro between Oct. 27 and Nov. 2, along with releasing the body camera footage to the public.

The first incident occurred around 9 p.m. Oct. 27 at a Maverik gas station in the 3200 block of South Parker Road. A worker reported to police that a man pointed a gun at her and told her to lock the doors, leaving two clerks inside with the suspect, according to Clark.

Investigators found that the suspect — later identified as 35-year-old Hosea Rasheed Moore — attempted to buy cigarettes. When the store didn’t have the correct brand, he brandished a gun and told the workers to put out the lights, lock the door and call the police.

As five officers arrived, they heard a gunshot inside of the store. The officers quickly broke through the glass door and entered the building. They then moved toward the clerks when Moore fired off multiple rounds while hiding behind a shelf.

One officer was struck in the leg. Four other officers then fired at the suspect, hitting him multiple times and killing him.

The clerks, who were behind the counter at the other end of the store as the suspect, suffered minor gunshot wounds. One was hit in the foot and one in the leg, both thought to be hit by shrapnel.

“It does appear that a round, a fragment or a piece of shrapnel that was created resulting from a bullet, or bullets, discharged by an officer caused the lower extremity injuries to the clerks,” Clark said.

Thomas added that the department is still waiting for ballistic tests on the fragments that injured the bystanders, but he does believe it was from one of the officers.

“Our officers are trained to be aware of their surroundings,” Thomas said, adding that the officers were shooting down and didn’t think the clerks were in the line of fire. “I don’t think there was time to instruct those people to move anywhere else, especially since it was undetermined if he was shooting at anybody who moved.”

Detectives found a Springfield Armory 9mm Hellcat firearm near him at the scene. He fired 10 rounds and the four officers fired 57 rounds.

The incident is being investigated by the Denver District Attorney’s Office’s Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), per protocol for all officer-involved shootings. Once that is complete, the department will investigate the incident.

Thomas praised the officers, saying he is proud of them for handling the shooting appropriately and potentially preventing more significant injuries. The CIRT investigation will determine if the officers’ use of deadly force was justified.

The second incident occurred around 2 a.m. on Nov. 2 in the 5100 block of North Biscay Street in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, Clark said.

Officers responded to a report of a large fight involving nearly 50 people in the street. Three officers responded to the call.

Upon arrival, officers saw people leaving the area. Nothing occurred for around an hour when officers were called back to the area for another report of fighting.

Officers heard gunshots and saw a juvenile boy firing a handgun. The suspect then turned and started running toward the officers, raising a handgun at them, as seen in the body camera footage.

One of the officers fired 14 rounds at the suspect. The suspect ran past the officer down the street where the officers fired more rounds. He continued to run and was later found with an injury to the leg.

Two other people, including a juvenile boy and a man, were found with bullet wounds. Both are expected to survive.

Two handguns were found at the scene as well as 25 shell casings. Those did not include the shell casings from the officer, Clark said.

The incident is also being investigated by CIRT. The suspect has been charged by the district attorney’s office, but was not identified due to being a minor.
