Wednesday marks three weeks since Osceola County deputies opened fire on a group of suspects at a Kissimmee Target, killing 20-year-old Jayden Baez.

The Osceola County sheriff’s office released video showing the suspect’s car lurching forward when deputies surrounded it.

Four people inside the car, including 20-year-old Jayden Baez, were accused of shoplifting from the store.

Baez died when deputies opened fire.
