The caller reported the person with the stalled vehicle seemed suspicious and was removing the license plates from the vehicle. When Mireles arrived he located a gray 2019 Cadillac that appeared to be stuck in the mud in the grassy area between the main lanes and the ramp to Austin Hwy. Mireles exited his patrol vehicle and approached the vehicle. The weather was cold and raining and he could not determine if the vehicle was occupied. Mireles went to the passenger side of the vehicle and knocked on the window. Mireles reported that he heard the vehicle’s doors unlock and he opened the passenger door so he could see inside the vehicle. The actor quickly exited the driver’s side of the vehicle when Mireles opened the passenger door. Mireles stated the actor turned towards his direction and seemed to be very nervous and not acting normal. The actor said something about the vehicle having flat tires. Mireles said it appeared the actor was under the influence of narcotics and kept trying to get back inside the vehicle. He said he kept talking to the actor was asking him to come towards him and the roadway to get out of the mud they were standing in. Mireles continued talking to the actor until Officer Garcia arrived at the location. With Garcia’s assistance they were able to get the actor to start walking towards Mireles’s patrol vehicle. Mireles stated the actor paused and picked up a metal pipe and he asked him to put it down. The actor put the pipe down and walked over to Mireles’s patrol vehicle. Officer Garcia asked the actor for identification and he stated he did not have any. Mireles stated he decided to handcuff the actor for their safety, due to his erratic behavior and until they could determine if the vehicle was stolen and the identity of the actor. When Mireles and Garcia started to place the actor in handcuffs the actor began resisting them. The actor was able to get his arms in front of his body and continued to physically resist Mireles and Garcia. Both officers were giving verbal commands to the actor to stop resisting. As they struggled with the actor and due to their proximity to the roadway Mireles deployed his Taser. Mireles tased the actor and he began to fall to the ground. Mireles was on his knees and was attempting to gain control of the actor when the actor was able to gain control of Mireles’s Taser. The actor used the Taser on Mireles and was able to tase him in the leg. Mireles and Garcia continued to struggle with the actor. Mireles stated the actor reached towards his waistband with his free hand and fearing that the actor was reaching for a weapon he fired three rounds from his service weapon. The actor was struck three times in the chest. Mireles and Garcia were able to handcuff the actor and as they rolled him to his side Mireles observed a knife on the pavement near the actor.
