OGDEN — Body camera video from a Feb. 5 fatal police shooting shows a suspect holding a handgun before an Ogden officer fires. Dino Raul Morales, 28, allegedly sexually assaulted a woman, stole her car and later ran from police before officers found him hiding in the bed of a pickup truck. Video and audio recordings released Tuesday by the Weber County Attorney's Office document the confrontation between an officer and Morales in a residential carport in the 2900 block of Grant Avenue. At a Feb. 7 news conference, Ogden Police Chief Eric Young said the reported sexual assault occurred in the 100 block of 26th Street. Police later spotted the stolen car at 30th Street and Washington Boulevard and Morales got out and ran west into a neighborhood. The officer who shot Morales is on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation, the usual practice after such an incident.
