Recently Release Footage Shows the Capture of Markeith Loyd

A police helicopter footage shows how Markeith Loyd was captured.

(Mirror Daily, US) – Orlando’s Police Department has recently publicized the helicopter footage of Markeith Loyd’s capture. The short video which was recorded using a police helicopter’s camera, show several heavily-armed law enforcement officers swarming around the suspect who was lying on the ground. The footage also shows a police officer kicking the suspect two times.

As you know, Markeith Loyd, the man who allegedly shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend and another law enforcement officer has recently been captured after a manhunt that lasted for more than a week.

However, as the law enforcement officers brought the suspect in for questioning, everything remarked that the man’s face was swollen up and covered in thick bandages. Before entering the police van, Markeith Loyd frantically shouted ‘They beat me!’.

It would seem that the man’s allegations might be true, a fact confirmed by a helicopter footage recently released by Orlando’s Police Department. The footage only lasts for a few seconds, but it’s enough to reconstruct the events that led to the man’s imprisonment and wounds.

According to the Orlando Police Department, Markeith Loyd was recently tracked down to an abandonment house in Carver Shores. The suspect was carrying two handguns, a tactical bulletproof vest, and a 100-round drum magazine.

As the law enforcement officers swarmed the house where Markeith Loyd was hiding, the suspect exited the building, dressed in full gear and with weapons ready. However, seeing that he was surrounded, he relinquished his weapons to the law enforcement officers.

The police officers who made the arrest said that when Loyd was asked to put down his weapons, he became agitated and that they had to use force to disarm him. The footage recorded via a camera mounted on a police helicopter shows several armed officers circling the suspect, who was on the ground.

After a few seconds, a police officer carrying an assault rifle came up to the suspect and began hitting him in the torso and the face. As the officer continued to kick the suspect, the helicopter’s camera pans away from the scene, as to abscond some of the details of Loyd’s arrest.

However, it would seem that even if Loyd presses charges against the officers, it won’t change much, considering the fact that the man allegedly murdered his girlfriend and unborn child in cold blood, and executed a police sergeant on the same day.
