The team investigating the Sept. 9 officer-involved shooting in Aberdeen planned to present its findings to the county prosecutor Wednesday, according to Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Brad Johansson.

“The prosecutor will then take the case under review and make a determination if the use of force was justified or if it warrants any criminal charges,” said Johansson in an email Tuesday morning.

The Sept. 9 incident began with an Aberdeen Police officer attempting to serve a felony warrant on Kristopher D. Fitzpatrick, 41, of Aberdeen, in the area of Broadway and Heron streets shortly before noon. According to police, Fitzpatrick fled on foot after stating he would not be taken back to prison.

Police said Fitzpatrick brandished a handgun. Two Aberdeen Police officers caught up with Fitzpatrick in a parking lot just east of the intersection of State and K streets. A third officer arrived in a cruiser and video footage posted on Facebook shortly after the incident showed Fitzpatrick approaching the driver’s side window of the vehicle. One officer opened fire, striking Fitzpatrick multiple times in the “trunk and lower extremities,” according to Grays Harbor County Chief Deputy Coroner Tom Thompson. Fitzpatrick later died at Grays Harbor Community Hospital.

The investigation was taken up by the Region 3 Critical Incident Investigations Team, made up of detectives from the Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, and Thurston County Sheriff’s Offices. The team has “extensive experience with investigating officer-involved shootings or deadly force incidents,” said Aberdeen Police Chief Steve Shumate.

The release of the security camera video of the incident, in which a weapon could not be readily seen, prompted an outcry on social media. In response, the investigative team released a still frame from the video that appeared to show a small, gray handgun in Fitzpatrick’s right hand shortly before the shooting. Audio of the incident including radio traffic between officers and dispatchers was also released, in which an officer can be heard ordering Fitzpatrick to drop the gun.

Johansson said “the video surveillance of the shooting is being analyzed by detectives in Seattle and we hope to have some video to release by the end of this week or early next week.” Investigators had said in the days following the incident a longer version of the video would be released, but it was delayed because the Seattle Police Department “had a homicide that took precedent,” said Johansson.
