In the clip, the police officer approaches a parked vehicle and asks the driver if he lives in the area, before telling him to 'sit down'.
Responding to the officer's repeated calls for him to 'sit', the suspect says: 'Come on man. Sir, don't do this.
'Why are you asking me do I live here? What's going on though?'
The suspect is heard telling the officer to 'back up' while the police officer begins yelling 'stop' repeatedly as he attempts to hold the man back.
In the video, a scuffle breaks out before what appears to be a gunshot is heard and the officer falls to the ground.
The officer was found by additional units lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head after he stopped replying to calls on his radio, according to police.
