Police have just released bodycam footage of the moment they shot dead a knife-wielding suspect at a California university five years ago.
The video of police shooting 38-year-old Antonio Guzman Lopez at San Jose State University back in 2014 was only released on Friday following a public records request.
It was released under California's new police transparency law, which now requires law enforcement to make records about shootings public.
After finally being able to view the footage, Lopez's family now believe they can prove what they have long claimed - that the father-of-one's death was unjustified.

Lopez, who was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who spoke limited English, was killed in February 2014 when police responded to reports of him walking near campus with a knife.
The bodycam footage shows the two officers approaching Lopez with their guns drawn.
When Lopez continued to walk along a sidewalk, one of the officers used a taser on him.
The video showed Lopez trying to run away after being tazed, before the officer opened fire
