NORFOLK, Va. — Four Norfolk police officers were cleared after they shot and killed a man last summer.

Friday afternoon, Norfolk's Commonwealth Attorney held a press conference where he shared the conclusion of the case and showed never before seen body-worn camera video of the incident.

Beekman was wanted on several outstanding felony warrants in Virginia Beach.

The body cam footage showed how four Norfolk officers, all part of the special operations team in Norfolk, found Beekman in Monroe Place, as they tried to serve him a felony warrant for malicious wounding.

Fatehi said before officers could finish the statement "Let me see your hands" Beekman started to shoot.
