A year-old case in Miami Beach, Florida, has resurfaced with the recent release of intense police body camera footage.
The video captured the fatal shooting of an escaped convict, Darien Young, by an officer as Young held a girl and a store employee hostage at knifepoint inside a Victoria’s Secret store.
The incident unfolded on July 27, 2023, at the Lincoln Road store. Young, 29, had previously escaped from the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, where he was serving time as a minimum-security resident.
In the released footage, officers are seen arriving as Young had the girl and employee in chokeholds, with a knife held at their throats. “Holster it!” Young shouted at the officers, resisting their attempts to get him to drop the knife. “Back up!”
The officers attempted to reason with Young, reassuring him that his life was not over and urging him to release the hostages. “Just put the knife down, and we’ll talk,” one officer can be heard saying. The tense situation escalated as Young threatened the lives of the hostages.
As the officers maintained a perimeter around Young, the scenario turned critical. Despite the officers’ efforts to defuse the situation and negotiate.
Ultimately, Officer Corey Jackson made his move, firing a single shot that struck Young in the head. Young fell to the ground, and officers swiftly assisted the hostages to safety.
The aftermath captured on Jackson’s body camera revealed the emotional toll the encounter took on him as he left the store. Fellow officers comforted him, urging him to breathe and get fresh air.
Following the shooting, Young was transported to a local hospital but was pronounced dead.
Beaches are horrible places to commit crime.
The sand stops you from fleeing fast, increasing the need to take hostages.
And then hostages are hard to hold on to because they are slippery from the suntan oil.
There are so many better places to commit crime.
Taking out the trash has no emotional effect on me.
Every week after I bring the bags out, I've checked.
I wanted to adapt this, but I’m going to bed.

This happened in a store, Victoria’s Secret judging by the mannikins.
A liberal Democrat will say that was staged. Fake. Conservative false flag. I am not kidding.
I've posted more than once that "he's going away for a long time" is a stupid cliche as they either get a plea deal or there's overcrowding or the lab mixed up dna for someone else so this and other cases get tossed
Or like this one, he escapes.
On Ted Bundy, an extremely dangerous serial killer: He then became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in several states. Facing murder charges in Colorado, Bundy engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults in Florida, including three murders, before being recaptured in 1978.
Beach hostages....
I posted once that in 1998 my late wife and I were among the people on a beach in Sarasota, Florida held by a gunman.
He kept deputies at bay after he shot around some people and told them to stand down. They did. People later said they saw the bullets hitting the sand and making little clouds in the air and it scared them.
Younger guys and I made our plan quietly to grab him if he went left. When he wasn’t looking I had my wife slip under a car in the first parking lot row near us. She said “What good is it going to do me if you’re dead?” “I don’t intend to die”
He chose to lunge right.
Finally he grabbed an older man and grinned and slowly marched him away as his wife collapsed, screaming over and over. He drove away with the hostage.
Happy ending, surrounded by dozens of cops, he surrendered from holding a family in their house.

It was a Victoria’s Secret. There’s a sign on the store.
Nice mannequins.
That is a much better place to take hostages than a beach.
Plus suicide by cop in a lingerie store is going to make an interesting story in Hell.
wow
A Victoria Secret's store is likewise not the best venue at which to take hostages.
Regards,
Just like the Trump assassination attempt video, way too many ponytails and buns on the LEOs. Tired of seeing women cops/agents.
No, everything you’ve said is wrong.
There is no good place to commit a crime. If you think there is, you’re a lowlife.
And in Hell, it’s impossible to have a good story because there’s no one to listen to you. Those in Hell are alone for eternity.
Just horrific. Just can’t watch this right now. Don’t want to have to go through vicariously what the officer went through. Hope he is ok.
And that concluded the negotiations. So much for the open casket.
Anyone who takes hostages deserves to die without honor. It sounds like this story had a happy ending.
Disappointed that the cop was acting like a girl afterwards.
