Day Three: Rivera watches Lindsey fall, shots heard

Rivera says he was not successful in getting ahold of August or Diaz. Lindsey approached Rivera and told him that if no one could come to get him, he would drive behind Rivera to the church.

Rivera says Lindsey was angled just outside the driver's side of the door. Rivera did not know Lindsey's name at the time of the stop.

As the conversation takes place with Officer Lindsey, Lindsey tells him just to take care of the 100 dollar fine, saying "I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for the baby with you."

As Rivera said thank you, he saw Lindsey "jump," going for his gun and then heard gunshots. Rivera put his head under the steering wheel hearing a large clap against the car.

Rivera says when he looked up he saw a gun pointed in his face.
