Chilling new video released by a Florida police department show the moment a deputy gunned down a distraught man moments after his brother was shot and laid dying in a hotel parking lot.

The incident, which transpired Saturday, August 6, outside the Heritage Hotel in Orlando, saw both brothers lives snuffed out – and saw the deputy placed on temporary administrative lead pending an investigation.

According to the department, the brother who had been downed when the deputy arrived on the scene, 21-year-old Dylan Jimenez, had been involved in a gun battle with another man in the moments leading up to the incident.

The scuffle left Jimenez slumped on a car, bleeding out in the hotel parking lot – spurring his brother, 28-year-old Bryan Richardson, to dash to the scene.

Video released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Friday show the immediate aftermath of that incident, as onlookers crowded around Jimenez and attempted to tend to the dying man.

However, seemingly unbeknownst to the deputy, just outside the crowd of bystanders surrounding the dying man stood Richardson, visibly distraught over his brother’s condition – and, as one spectator shouts, with a handgun at his side.

Upon noticing the armed man after several seconds already on the scene, the officer draws his service weapon and points it at Richardson, as his female partner goes to take the gun away from him.

In the footage, Richardson does not appear violent and even gives up the gun to the lady cop with his other arm outstretched toward the deputy as if to say ‘Don’t shoot’ – but despite this is unloaded on, shot eight times by the officer.

Both brothers would later be pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital.

The release of the heart-wrenching footage comes as cops investigate whether the officer involved was in the right for the slaying – as many question if both siblings had to die.

According to the sheriff’s office, both Jimenez and Richardson had been involved in the ‘altercation’ with the another unnamed man, who was also hospitalized but survived the incident.

Deputies say Jimenez and the third man first began shooting at each other, each hitting the other, leaving the 21-year-old collapsed next to white pickup truck parked outside the hotel.

According to the Sheriff’s office, Jimenez ran to that spot with his brother after being shot, falling in the parking lot on the north side of the hotel where he was spotted by the deputy.

The body camera video released Friday shows the deputy and his female partner arriving on scene to find Jimenez already being cared for by a civilian, who in the footage claims to be a paramedic.

The officers then attempt to render medical aid to Jimenez – not noticing an armed Richardson standing feet away from his dying brother.

The officers only become aware of the brother after a man shouts out that he has a gun – claiming in the footage that Richardson had been ‘pointing it at people.’ 

The deputy arrived on the scene to find Jimenez on the floor bleeding out after getting in a gun battle with another unnamed man. Jimenez's brother, Richardson, can be seen in the background with a handgun in his left hand
