COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus police have shared new details on an incident where a group of officers shot and killed a man wielding an “edged weapon,” including that the division previously made contact with him hours before.

Late Monday night, Columbus police chased 35-year-old Noel Hernandez in a car after responding to multiple calls that he was threatening people with a knife. In a Wednesday press conference, Chief Elaine Bryant said Hernandez was not responding to officers’ commands in either English or Spanish. The pursuit ended near the intersection of Sullivant Avenue and Industrial Mile Road, where five officers fired at and killed Hernandez.

During the press conference, Bryant provided audio from calls made to dispatchers, as well as dashcam and bodycam footage from the incident. She detailed that a separate group of officers had made contact with Hernandez earlier in the day.

About four or five hours before the Monday night shooting, Bryant said officers conducted a wellness check on Hernandez in response to a call from his neighbor. After speaking with both Hernandez and the neighbor, officers deemed he was not a threat to others or himself. Bryant said those officers had no legal reason to go into Hernandez’s home, and they left after filling out a Mobile Crisis Response Unit referral for the next day.

Recordings revealed at the press conference showed that around 11:15 p.m. that night, multiple callers reported a man who could not speak English was threatening people with a knife. Arriving officers found Hernandez standing outside a car at the intersection of Georgesville and Clime Roads, in the Georgian Heights neighborhood. He was holding what Bryant described as an “edged” and “makeshift” weapon.

Bodycam footage showed Hernandez ignored commands in both English and Spanish to put his hands up before getting in his vehicle and driving away. Police followed him at a slow speed, with Hernandez getting out of his vehicle twice during the pursuit.

Hernandez eventually got out again and began walking toward traffic with the weapon in his hand, continuing to ignore commands from officers. Near the intersection of Sullivant Avenue and Industrial Mile Road, the bodycam showed one officer tried to tase Hernandez as he walked away, but was unsuccessful. Hernandez then turned around, waving his arms outward with the weapon in his hand, and another officer tried unsuccessfully to tase him a second time.

Bryant said Hernandez “advanced” toward the group of police. Five officers then opened fire on him. Based on the body cam footage, at least 12 rounds were fired.

“When an officer responds to a scene, an officer is locked in on the imminent threat that they’re dealing with, the threat to themselves or to or a threat to anyone else,” Bryant said. “So, what I can tell you is that they responded based on what they saw at that time from their view.”

Medics transported Hernandez to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:49 p.m.

Bryant said Hernandez had no documented history of mental illness prior to the incident. Lieutenant Mike Voorhis of the Mobile Crisis Response Unit also spoke at the press conference. He said the unit was not available at the time of the incident, but that they wouldn’t have been deployed yet regardless due to police protocol.

“So, in that situation, my clinicians would’ve been held back until the officers secured the scene,” Voorhis said.

In accordance with Marsy’s Law, the identities of the five officers involved were not disclosed. Bryant said each of them was placed on administrative duty after the shooting. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation will also review the incident.
