The incident happened when police were called to 296 Terrace Ave. for a domestic violence complaint on Dec. 1.
A woman told police Jovan Washington tried to strangle her.
The body cam video picks up when police tried to arrest him.

That's when officer Alex Triscritti fired multiple shots, fatally striking Washington.  
Officials say Washington died at the hospital.
