Dallas Chief of Police Eddie Garcia on Monday shared dash camera and body camera videos of last week's shooting involving a police officer.
The shooting happened Thursday in the 9600 block of Golf Lakes Trail after police said four people in a stolen truck rammed a police car while trying to escape officers who had surrounded them in a parking lot.
After a Flock license plate reader flagged a stolen pickup truck, covert officers verified the truck's location, and then officers in marked units surrounded the vehicle. As the officers moved into position, the pickup driver accelerated out of a parking space and drove up onto the hood of a police car.

The video appeared to show four people getting out of the disabled truck and scattering. During the chaotic foot chase, police said an armed 17-year-old, identified as Eric Lampkin-Scarborough, was carrying a handgun modified with an extended magazine and a switch and was shot twice by an officer. Lampkin-Scarborough, Garcia said, was given first aid by police officers and was in stable condition Monday.
Two others were taken into custody Thursday, while a fourth person, who was also believed to be armed, escaped and remains at large. That person's identity has not been confirmed by police.
Dallas police said 19-year-old Deantae Moore was one of the people in the vehicle. He was taken into custody on outstanding capital murder warrants related to the slayings of two 18-year-old men at a Dallas convenience store in March.

The third person taken into custody was identified as 21-year-old Damon Price. Price was also hospitalized after being taken into custody after complaining of chest pain.
In addition to Moore's capital murder charges, police said the other men faced several charges, including possession of a prohibited weapon, evading detention on foot, aggravated assault of a public servant, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance.
Police said four weapons were recovered, including two that fell from the vehicle, a third near where Lampkin-Scarborough ran from the scene, and a fourth was found during a search of the stolen truck. Two of the weapons were stolen, Garcia said.
Garcia said Monday that while it's not known what the foursome had planned that afternoon, oftentimes people steal vehicles to commit more serious crimes. Because the men were found in possession of two stolen weapons and masks, officials believe police officers prevented something more nefarious from taking place.
It's not clear if any of the suspects have obtained attorneys to speak on their behalf.
The investigation is ongoing and is being investigated by the Dallas Police Special Investigations Unit. The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office was notified and responded to the scene and will conduct their own investigation. The Office of Community Police Oversight was notified and responded to the scene.
