Detectives presented synchronized CAD and body-worn camera evidence that tracked the SWAT operation at 3881 Casa Colorado Avenue. According to the presentation, SWAT arrived just after 07:00:39; the breach command was given at 07:00:54, officers breached the front door at 07:00:56 and entered at 07:00:58. "At 07:01 10 seconds, 2 gunshots are fired," Detective Papix said when walking the public through bodycam time stamps.
Investigators displayed slowed bodycam video and still photos with circled areas to show the object Ayer held, which detectives described as a realistic butane lighter painted to resemble a handgun. Officers in the entry team described hearing shots and later seeing expended brass and a handgun-like object near a meth pipe in the kitchen area; detectives also described immediate medical rendering at 07:04:20 and removal to waiting EMS at 07:07:18.
Detective Papix identified SWAT officer Michael Stevens as the shooter and said Stevens' assigned Colt M4 rifle showed two rounds missing; other involved officers were named in the presentation and some officers provided statements that were reviewed by investigators.
