A judge has released portions of a former police officer's heavily redacted body-camera footage showing the moments leading up to a deadly police-involved shooting at a Mesa, Arizona, hotel.

Daniel Shaver, a 26-year-old father of two, was staying at the La Quinta Inn & Suites in January on a work trip from Texas.

A 911 call was made claiming a gun was being pointed out the window of a hotel room, according to court records. Police say they found two pellet guns, which he used for his pest-control job, inside the room after Shaver had been killed.

The footage begins with a police officer telling the occupants of room 502 to listen to his instructions or it was going to "become very uncomfortable."

Police asked for any female occupants to step out, then shouted several times for Shaver to come out. The officers, surveying the scene from the hallway, discussed whether to call Shaver's room from a lobby phone or access the room with a key card.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sam Myers redacted a large portion of the footage, including the moment where Shaver is killed, to respect Brailsford's right to a fair trial, saying it might prejudice potential jurors.

Who knew being a pest control agent could get you killed.

Everyone calm down. This will be investigated thoroughly and objectively.
