Carlos Uribe, 29, of Conover, entered the plea in Catawba County Superior Court Thursday, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Camden Childers, 21, was fatally shot after a motorcycle chase on June 26, 2025, according to the District Attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

An investigation by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation determined that Uribe kicked and shot Childers after Childers raised his hands in surrender \u201cand was no longer deemed a threat,\u201d according to a District Attorney\u2019s office news release Friday.<\/p>\n

Childers had led officers on two chases in other jurisdictions before Newton police tried to stop him, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChilders rode his bike into a cul-de-sac near Walmart in Conover and reached a point where he no longer could get away from officers,\u201d according to the news release.<\/p>\n

Uribe used his patrol car to knock Childers and his motorcycle to the ground, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUribe\u2019s body camera footage captures the officer telling the victim to get on the ground, and Childers clearly has his hands up in surrender,\u201d according to the news release.<\/p>\n

The footage shows Uribe kicking Childers in the stomach before a gunshot is heard and Childers repeatedly saying, \u201cI\u2019m sorry!\u201d and \u201cHe shot me!\u201d prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Childers was pronounced dead at Catawba Valley Medical Center. An autopsy showed he died of a gunshot wound to his chest, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Uribe is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 8.<\/p>\n
