Bodycam Shows Officer Shooting 21-Year-Old. Genevive Dawes was asleep along with her boyfriend inside a car that was suspected to be stolen. Police arrived and began shouting commands at them. Dawes woke up and reversed into one of their squad cars. She puts the car in drive then hits a fence, only to reverse back into the squad car. Ofc. Christopher Hess then opens fire, shooting 13 times. His partner, Ofc. Jason Kimpel, fired once. The officers, reports WFAA, had moved to a safe position away from the vehicle and were not in any danger. Dawes died at the scene. Hess was fired and has been charged with aggravated assault.
