Police body cam video shows Canaan clutching a hunting knife although he never appears to walk toward Deputy Joe Farias-Rios or Deputy Mathew Velazquez. AdThe FDLE investigation confirmed a bullet was “surgically removed” from Canaan’s spine although what caliber weapon was never reported by the FDLE or the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The findings were sent to the state attorney’s office and deputies Farias-Rios and Velazquez were never charged. In a deposition taken for the trial against Canaan, Farias-Rios testified he opened fire because he felt Canaan presented a danger.
