Episode Details

Late Monday night, Independence police responded to a domestic disturbance that spiraled into gunfire after officers say a man allegedly armed and uncooperative raised a weapon toward them. The woman involved reported the man was drunk and threatening; after safely removing her, officers found him in the hallway holding a firearm. When he refused to drop it—and body cam footage reportedly shows him aiming it at officers—police fired multiple shots, hitting him in the right arm. He was later tasered at the door for continued resistance. Now facing charges including unlawful use of a weapon and domestic assault, Maldonado claims he was asleep and shot without cause, though evidence contradicts that. He also allegedly assaulted the woman by punching, pushing, and pulling her hair. The Police Involved Incident Team is investigating, and no court dates have been set.
