New police body camera footage shows the moment officers fatally shot a man at a Davie home last week.
The footage released Monday shows the March 15 encounter that left 39-year-old Steven Amann dead at a home in the 14500 block of Southwest 24th Street.
Davie Police said officers had responded to the home shortly after midnight for a medical call for a resident when they encountered Amann outside the home.
The footage shows one of the officers speaking with Amann outside the front door.

"Hey, stay right here. Don’t move," the officer tells him, before asking about the other resident. "Did he have more drugs that you know of?"
'No," Amann responds.
More officers respond and at one point, one of them becomes concerned about Amann moving around.

"Pick your shirt up. I want to make sure you don’t have any weapons on you. Do you have any weapons on you?" the officer asks.
As officers tried to speak with Amann and determine why he was at the home, he was mostly non-verbal and didn't answer the officers' questions.
The first officer speaks with the other officers and mentions drug use.
"This guy just showed up out of nowhere," the officer says. "These two did fentanyl and heroin earlier today."
At one point in the video, Amann appears to back away from the officers and reaches behind his back then points an object at the officers.
"What are you doing dude?" one of the officers asks, as authorities said Amann took a shooting stance and thrusted his hands forward, pointing an object at the officers.
That's when several gunshots are heard being fired by the officers.
Police said Amann was killed in the shooting. Officials haven't confirmed if the object he was holding was a gun.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident, which is standard practice in police shootings.
