Although it is unclear how many rounds the officers fired, and they have not publicly stated how many bullet wounds were sustained by Nguyen and Landeros, the car they were driving had at least 20 bullet holes.

While the Denver Police officers wasted their time chasing and killing the wrong man, Venzor-Gonzalez is still on the run. He was initially arrested after he was accused of kidnapping a woman and her daughter, and he engaged in a shootout with police.

“He’s a very dangerous individual,” Archer said. “He remains our top priority. The community isn’t safe with him out there.”

While Police Commander Barb Archer insisted that the officers were justified in firing more than 20 rounds into a car—killing one man and injuring another—because they believed it contained an escaped inmate, the Denver Police Department claims it is investigating the officers’ actions.

The department has refused to release the body camera footage and the officers responsible for the shooting have not been publicly identified. Archer confirmed that the officers have been placed on “desk duty” where they will continue to receive their taxpayer-funded salaries until the investigation is complete.
