Body Camera Footage Released In Monroe County Officer-Involved Shooting

Last updated on Wednesday, August 29, 2018

(BLOOMINGTON) - Monroe County Sheriff Brad Swain released the body cam footage of the fatal officer-involved shooting that happened on August 7 in the 5900 block of Tower Road.

The mobile home is along a wooded area along a gravel dead-end road that runs north of Tower Road, off Ison Road.

Officers shot and killed 24-year-old Daniel Boyer as he fled the home into a wooded area behind the mobile home, armed with a semi-automatic handgun.

The footage from Deputies Don Teague and Deandre Moxley show how quickly the fatal shooting unfolded.

Boyer suffered four gunshot wounds and later died at IU Health Bloomington Hospital, according to Coroner Joani Shields. Boyer suffered two gunshot wounds to his left thigh, one to his right index finger and a superficial wound to the right side of his lower back. The bullet that killed Boyer entered through the front of his thigh, traveled upward and penetrated his aorta, liver and lung.

Sheriff Swain says Deputies Don Teague and Deandre Moxley were covering the back door of the mobile home when Boyer exited the home pointing the handgun at the deputies.

Deputies went to the house to serve a warrant on a 33-year-old Tiffany Flynn on a warrant for a violation of home detention, but they believed Boyer, would also be at the home. He was wanted on two warrants for dealing and possession of meth.

"The male subject (Boyer) who they had been looking for came out the back door with a handgun, pointed it at the deputies and said a comment to the effect of 'f--- this,'" Swain said.

Teague and Moxley fired their 9 mm Glocks striking Boyer four times.

Both deputies were placed on paid administrative leave, they returned to work last week.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is doing an administrative review which will be presented to a merit board next month.
