The June 26, 2025 incident unfolded when Childers fled from Uribe on his motorcycle, FOX 8 reported. He then drove into a cul-de-sac.
Video from the incident shows Uribe’s cruiser striking Childers, knocking him to the ground, investigators stated. Uribe then got out of his cruiser and kicked Childers in the stomach before shooting him.

The video shows no evidence of Childers possessing a gun or attempting to reach for one, the District Attorney’s Office alleged.
