The deputy, 26-year-old Jared Mincemeyer, had pulled a man over near the gas station after noticing he had an obscured tag, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The body-worn camera footage released by the sheriff’s office Sunday was from two deputies who were at the scene: Mincemeyer and an undercover deputy who was not named.
The man who died had still not been identified as of Sunday evening. According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were still working to notify his next of kin. Due to that, the man’s face was blurred in the footage.
