SHOCKING: St. Louis Police Refuse to Help Dying Man Over Lack of Money—An Unbelievable “Human Heart” Moment!.hienca

The officers are no longer employed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department

 

Two St. Louis police officers walked away from a still-breathing man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, with one noting his shift was ending soon.

Body camera footage aired by First Alert 4 shows the officers, Ty Warren and Austin Fraser, responding to a call about a man who said he planned to die by suicide in the city’s Forest Park on Sept. 10, 2023.

A complaint filed by the St. Louis Department of Safety in front of the Missouri Administrative Hearing Commission, obtained by PEOPLE, includes a partial transcript of the exchange between the two officers as they responded to the call, which matches what was said in the reported footage.

“We ain’t taking this sh—,” Fraser said, according to the complaint. “Let’s cruise around and come back.”

 

The reported bodycam footage also featured Fraser saying “I get off in 30 minutes.”

The pair then left the man, who later died and was identified as Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera, and “cruised around” the area before returning to the scene where another officer was responding to the call, according to the complaint.

Fraser and Warren did not inform the third officer that they had already found the body. The third officer called in Rodriguez-Rivera’s condition immediately upon finding him in the park.

 

First Alert 4 also obtained another officer’s bodycam footage, in which the officer notes that Fraser and Warren left the scene once other officers arrived.

The complaint states that Warren admitted that he had made a “dumb” decision and that he had succumbed to Fraser’s pressure.

“The two individuals are no longer employed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department,” the department said in a statement to PEOPLE. “While we are unable to comment on specific personnel matters, SLMPD holds its officers to the highest of standards. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken if an officer is found to have violated policies.”
