Dash cam: What happened during the 2020 shootout on I-40 in Knoxville

GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: Dash camera video from the Tennessee Highway Patrol shows what happened the evening of July 14, 2020 when a police pursuit of a wanted Florida man turned into a shootout on an interstate in the heart of Knoxville. MORE: bit.ly/3e9HmCQ
Cristhian Eliud Ramos-Murillo vowed he’d never go back to Florida alive. After the shootout with Knox County and THP authorities, he got his wish.
The gunman and police traded nearly 70 shots between them. When it was over, Ramos-Murillo was mortally wounded and his 21-year-old passenger was critically wounded.
Now on WBIR.com, you’ll see THP cruiser footage and Knox County bodycam video as the chase and fatal shooting unfolded above the Old City. You’ll watch the dramatic THP maneuver that brought the pursuit to a halt. And you’ll hear from the Knox County deputy who came eye to eye with the gunman, trading shots with him from inside the patrol car he calls “a coffin.” bit.ly/3e9HmCQ

[@paverdaddymcslingsabrick896]

That was a work of art. I'm just impressed with the traffic..... anytime I go downtown a 20 min drive turns to an hour and 15 mins

[@leskobrandon691]

The chase should've been 17 minutes shorter as the cop that picked him up at the start of the video had the perfect opportunity to pit him on the on-ramp. No other cars around. A lower speed. Could have ended things quickly.

[@Huggybear101]

That was beautiful. The icing on the cake is the officer who conducted the PIT also exited his vehicle with a shotgun and approached like a boss. Well done.

[@wolfmanrebel874]

Agreed, being from not so far from this area myself I couldn't help but notice that I infact did not hear over the radio advisory or permission to PIT, which is fine by me when executed properly, I must assume what happened here is the officers wife text him that dinner was almost ready so he had to wrap this one up...I would do the same👍 All these guys operated like a well oiled machine on this one

[@dickbeale9731]

Actually if you watch carefully, it was a different cruiser that conducted the pit maneuver, not the one with the officer exiting his vehicle with the shotgun.

Yep - it only took the PD / Sheriff's Dept. over 17 min and nearly 20 miles of highway to decide to PIT - in the middle of DT knoxville. They had plenty of time and open space outside of the city limits to take him out prior to him hitting a very crowded city. Stray bullets could have easily struck pedestrians / innocent motorists. I live in Knoxville, so I know the area well. From the starting point of the video until where he was hit with the PIT, 95% of it is rural. Yet, they waited until he hit the city to decide to move on him? Then, it takes nearly 14 cops to take them into custody? More like everyone wanted a piece of the action lolol. The PIT was executed well, but they shouldn't have waited so long to engage.
