IMPD has released a summary video of the officer-involved shooting earlier this month where an IMPD officer fatally shot a man following a traffic stop on the city's northeast side. 49-year-old Gary Dwayne Harrell died after being shot by IMPD Officer Douglas Correll, a 28-year-veteran of IMPD.
According to police, Harrell was stopped for reckless driving in the 3400 block of Parker Avenue at 9:40 a.m. on August 3. Prior to the release of the video, IMPD explained Harrell exited his vehicle and began speaking with the officer before the officer could approach his car. Harrell then jumped back into the driver's seat of his vehicle, disregarding the officer's verbal commands at the scene.
Police have not released information about what commands were given by the officer. While the officer was trying to speak with the Harrell, he jumped back out of the car with a gun in his hand and ran from the scene, police said. After a short foot chase, Correll provided more commands and eventually fired his weapon.
