Episode Details

In a high-stakes confrontation that ended in tragedy, Colorado Springs police and an El Paso County deputy confronted Benjamin Greenfield — a known drug offender with a history of fleeing — who was seen with a woman and suspected of conducting a drug deal. After officers attempted to stop his vehicle, Greenfield resisted, damaged property, and refused to exit despite repeated commands. When he fired a shot that ricocheted off a windshield, three officers returned fire, fatally wounding him. Toxicology confirmed he had drugs in his system. The woman with him exited safely and was arrested on an outstanding warrant. After reviewing body camera footage and evidence, the district attorney ruled the shooting justified and declined to file charges against the officers, citing their reasonable belief that force was necessary to prevent harm.
