Wichita police: Man shot, killed by officer was ‘belligerent,’ reaching for his waistband
At 6:43 p.m. Saturday, 911 operators received a call of a disturbance involving a knife at the address on North Oliver, Mosley said.
Two officers arrived in the area at 6:51 p.m., parking down the street and walking to the residence.
With officers on the way, dispatchers received at least three more calls stating the suspect was under the influence of alcohol and armed with a knife, Mosley said. At the scene, two officers approached an SUV parked in the driveway of the house.
Officers approached (John) Quintero, who was on the passenger side of the SUV, and his 44-year-old father, who was on the driver’s side.
Quintero’s father got out of the vehicle and was compliant, Mosley said.
“However, the 23-year-old was belligerent and confrontational toward the officers and refused commands from Officer B,” Mosley said. “The suspect approached Officer B, and Officer B backed away from the suspect due to him not complying with verbal commands. The suspect walked toward the back of the SUV, at which time Officer A hears the verbal confrontation and moves to a position to assist Officer B at the rear of the SUV.”
