A man who was killed by a deputies in Lauderdale Lakes Wednesday is seen kicking and dragging another deputy moments before he's fatally shot in new cellphone video.
Video shot by a witness shows the encounter between Broward Sheriff's deputies and 42-year-old Jean Pedro Pierre at the Sunset Hills Condominium in the 3600 block of Northwest 21st Street.

"There's a guy fighting with two cops," a woman tells a dispatcher in 911 calls of the incident released Friday.
Officials said Deputy Sean Youngward responded to a disturbance at the scene and was confronted by Pierre, who attacked the deputy.
The video shows Pierre dragging Youngward on the ground, while a second deputy, Steven Briggs, points a gun at him, trying to get him to stop.
Youngward is seen trying to break away from Pierre by using his baton as Pierre has a hold of his leg.
Pierre suddenly drops Youngward's leg and starts to run, and that's when three shots were fired by Briggs. Officials said Pierre charged at Briggs, but added that Pierre wasn't armed.
The footage then shows Pierre alive, laying on the ground, as officers approached him with guns drawn.
One of the officers then bends over to check Pierre’s condition. The officer put on gloves and approached the suspect, while another approached him with a gun. A few minutes later, an officer was seen administering CPR to the victim.
Broward Sheriff Rescue officials took Pierre to the hospital, where he later died.
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel held a news conference Friday to discuss the violent encounter. NewsRadio 610 WIOD was there.
Israel said Youngward used his Taser but it didn't stop Pierre from attacking him. He added that deputies did everything they could to diffuse the situation.
"He gave several clear concise, lawful and legal orders to Mr. Pierre. Mr. Pierre chose a path of non-compliance," Israel said.
Pierre’s friends and family said that’s not the man they know.
"He was a loving, caring person. Loved his family, loved his kids. This is devastating to all of us, it’s not making sense," said Nekita Dulcio, a friend of Pierre’s.
Israel said the deputies were wearing body cameras and said that additional footage will be released.
"It is sad to hear that there was a shooting in Dade County, then Coral Springs, then here in Broward County," said Israel. "We can do better as a society. It is just a dangerous world that we live in."
The shooting remains under investigation.
