Fort Worth, Texas — On May 22, 2023, shortly after 11:30 p.m. an officer was dispatched to the 5900 block of Greenspoint Drive, near Boca Raton Boulevard and Oakland Hills Drive. The caller, 20-year-old Kaitlyn Balogun, told dispatchers she was “bleeding out” and that she wanted to harm herself, police said. The officer is seen knocking on the door before yelling “Police, open the door” twice. After the second time, Balogun opens the door and says “hello,” to which the officer responds “What’s going on? Talk to me.” Balogun then ran to pick up a knife that was on the floor, the video shows.
The officer yells “Drop the knife — do it now” and the woman, crying, repeatedly pleads “Shoot me” and “please.” “I don’t want to shoot you, drop the knife,” the officer says. According to Fort Worth PD, Balogun had the knife in a tight grip pointed at the officer, but the officer was at the edge of the staircase with no room to retreat further. The video shows the officer fire her gun, striking Balogun once in the hip. Balogun dropped the knife and fell backward in the apartment. The officer went into the apartment to provide aid. A second officer arrived just after the shooting. Balogun was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and was released from the hospital later that night. She was booked into the Tarrant County jail on a charge of aggravated assault on a public servant, and has since been released, court records show.
