Eastep kept his hand in his right pocket throughout the negotiation and held what appeared to be a small black object in his left hand. Around the 6:15 minute mark of the video, Eastep appeared to take his right hand out of his pocket, grip something and raise his arms. The video captured multiple gunshots as Eastep fell to the ground. His arms appeared to be moving as the shots continue and the video cuts to another officer's body camera footage.
