The St. Paul Police Department on Friday released bodycam and dashcam video of officers shooting and killing an alleged murder suspect while he was riding a bike last weekend.

Authorities say Officers Eric Jaworski and Matthew Foy shot 36-year-old Mychel Allan Stowers on Saturday while acting on a tip that Stowers — who was wanted for murder in connection with the death of his pregnant wife — was at a business on West Seventh Street.

Video of the incident shows Foy driving a squad car while Jaworski sits in the front passenger seat. The car turns right from Watson Avenue and onto Bay Street and Stowers comes into view riding a bicycle.

Jaworski fires his rifle through the windshield while the car is still moving, and Stowers stumbles off his bike. Foy then puts the squad in park and jumps out, firing his handgun while Stowers is collapsed on the ground.

“He’s riding towards them,” said Joe Dutton, a use of force expert with more than 30 years of law enforcement experience. He watched the footage with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. “You gotta see it several times to get it but see, he turns his bike around.”

He explained Jaworski fired through the windshield rather than after getting out of the squad to save time.

“That kind of urgency is telling me this guy, the passenger with the rifle, thought that guy was a clear danger of great bodily harm or death or he wouldn’t have shot through that window,” said Dutton. “This officer shot through the windshield to keep [Stowers] from traveling further and shooting at them. The closer he gets, the more accurate he’ll be.”

All the while, a bystander stood frozen on the sidewalk just a few yards from where Stowers lay.

Police say Stowers was pointing a gun at officers when he was shot, but a gun is not clearly seen in the video.

However, Dutton said he could see a gun in Stowers’ right hand in the footage.

“When he gets off the bike, he has it in his hand,” said Dutton.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which investigates deadly uses of force, said their agents recovered a handgun from the scene near where Stowers was shot.
