The Washoe County District Attorney's Office has determined that a February 2022 officer-involved shooting in south Reno was justified by police. 

The officer-involved shooting happened at an apartment complex near Talbot Lane after detectives using an online alias set up an undercover sting operation in an attempt to arrest Jacori Shaw.

As we've reported, the 23-year-old was wanted for felony gun violations and was also the person of interest in a homicide that happened earlier that month.

During the meeting, the DA's office said Shaw ran from officers, and at one point reached into his waistband for a gun, which he pointed at a detective.

The detective fired at Shaw who ultimately died from the gunshot wound.

MARCH 10, 2022:

Sparks Police have released body camera footage of a officer-involved shooting on Talbot Way in south Reno last month. 

The coroner says 23-year-old Jacori Shaw died from a gunshot wound to the chest.  

Reno Police Detectives from the Regional Crime Suppression Unit were looking for a man wanted for felony gun violations.

The suspect was also being sought for questioning in a homicide investigation by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office. Eventually he was found in the 4900 block of Talbot Lane.

After a brief foot chase, a Sparks Police Department K9 was deployed to stop Shaw, but he resisted the K9 and pulled out a concealed handgun which he pointed at detectives.

Shots were then fired by a Sparks Police detective striking the suspect. 

Shaw later died at an area hospital. 

The Regional Officer Involved Shooting Protocol was enacted and the Reno Police Department Homicide Unit is leading an investigation.
