Two St. Louis police officers walked away from a still-breathing man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, with one noting his shift was ending soon.

“We ain’t taking this sh—,” Fraser said, according to the complaint. “Let’s cruise around and come back.”

The reported bodycam footage also featured Fraser saying “I get off in 30 minutes.”

The pair then left the man, who later died and was identified as Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera, and “cruised around” the area before returning to the scene where another officer was responding to the call, according to the complaint.

Fraser and Warren did not inform the third officer that they had already found the body. The third officer called in Rodriguez-Rivera’s condition immediately upon finding him in the park.

First Alert 4 also obtained another officer’s bodycam footage, in which the officer notes that Fraser and Warren left the scene once other officers arrived.

The complaint states that Warren admitted that he had made a “dumb” decision and that he had succumbed to Fraser’s pressure.
