The Latest: Video Of Officer Being Shot Is Shown In Court

The Latest on the trial of an ex-convict charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm used to fatally shoot a police officer (all times local):

1:25 p.m.

Police video has been played in federal court, showing the fatal shooting of an Albuquerque police officer who was gunned down last year during a nighttime traffic stop.

The video from Officer Daniel Webster's lapel camera was shown in court Monday during the jury trial of ex-convict Davon Lymon.

Lymon is standing trial on charges of being a felon in possession of the firearm used in Webster's death.

Albuquerque police named Lymon as a suspect in the fatal shooting last year, but state charges have yet to be filed in the case.

In the video, a man is heard shouting, indicating he's in pain, while the officer yells for the suspect to give him his hand so he can cuff him.

Shots are fired within roughly a half-minute of Webster getting out of his vehicle.

8:15 a.m.

The suspect in the shooting death of an Albuquerque police officer is scheduled to stand trial this week in a federal firearms case.

A firearm at the center of the bench trial that goes before Chief Judge M. Christina Armijo on Monday is the same one authorities say was used to fatally shoot Officer Daniel Webster last year.

Police say the officer was shot by ex-convict Davon Lymon on Oct. 21, 2015, during a nightime traffic stop. Webster died eight days later from his injuries at University of New Mexico Hospital.

State charges in Webster's death have not yet been filed. Lymon has remained in custody on federal charges since his arrest in the shooting.

Prosecutors have listed 25 potential witnesses and evidence that includes video from Webster's body camera.
