New video footage shows teen kidnapping victim gunned down by cops while running towards them for help

Newly-released video from law enforcement shows the moment California cops fatally shot an unarmed 15-year-old girl who was reported missing.

The harrowing footage released Monday shows Savannah Graziano, 15, slowly approaching officers along the 15 Freeway in Hesperia, Calif. on Sept. 27, 2022, one day after witnessing her father, Anthony John Graziano, 45, murder her mother Tracy Martinez, ABC7 reported.

Moments later, gunfire erupts and Savannah is shot down in the crossfire.

“Stop shooting her! He’s in the car! Stop! She’s OK! He’s in the car! … Stop!” the deputy can be heard yelling.

The footage was released after reporters requested it under the California Public Records Act.

Officers from San Bernadino County were seen pulling Graziano’s truck over just before he fired shots at them using a semiautomatic weapon, officials said.

The truck was tailed for about 70 miles until Graziano unsuccessfully took it up an embankment.

The teen can be seen getting out of the vehicle, as an officer said over the radio, “The girl’s out, the female juvie is out. She’s out on the passenger side.”

The deputies were not wearing body cameras at the time of the incident, but audio footage from a nearby officer was released of Savannah getting out of the car.

“Passenger, get out! Come here! Come to me! Come, come, come… walk, walk, walk,” he says.

Moments later, she is shot down by cops.

Investigators previously believed the teen was somewhere else at the time of her mother’s murder and was later kidnapped by her father.

At the time of the ordeal, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said that it looked like the teen was wearing “tactical gear” when she exited the vehicle.

However, aerial footage does not confirm that.
