The US Park Police has released bodycam footage of the moment an officer was shot multiple times in Washington, D.C., while chasing a drug suspect.

Cops witnessed a suspected drug violation and attempted to approach a man before gunfire was exchanged in the Mount Vernon Square neighborhood on November 22.

Video of the incident shows one of the officers attempting to confront the suspect, later identified as Turell Delonte Campbell, but he immediately starts running.

The unidentified officer pleads with him to 'get down,' but Campbell, 30, turns around holding a gun and multiple shots were fired.

The officer was struck in the torso and leg multiple times. Both men were taken to hospital but Campbell later died from his injuries.

Campbell reportedly had a lengthy criminal history in the district, including a murder charge which was later dropped.

He was charged with the murder of 25-year-old Isiah Agyekum in 2015 but this was dismissed due to a 'government witness availability issue', according to NBC Washington.

He was also charged with selling crack cocaine in Penn Quarter in 2019 and threatening to shoot a housing authority police officer in 2020, but these charges were later dropped by prosecutors.

Campbell was again arrested in 2020 on gun and drug charges. He pleaded guilty to the drug offenses while the gun charge was dropped and was handed an 18-month probation sentence in February 2023.
