The Independent Office for Police Conduct was investigating the shooting.
It said: “Police body-worn footage shows officers calling for the occupant to come to the door with nothing in their hands.
“The man opened the door and appeared to point a weapon in the officers’ direction.”
Joel was hit in the stomach early Sunday and died in hospital on Thursday.
Police had responded to reports of a street altercation between two people — one with a gun — in Knaphill, Surrey.
The IOPC confirmed a non-police issue weapon was seized at the scene.
Father-of-one Joel’s partner was expecting their second child.
A source said: “Joel had an air rifle on him. When police turned up, he was so drunk he stupidly aimed it at them.”
IOPC regional director Mel Palmer said: “We have met with the man’s family to explain our role.
“Our thoughts are with them, and everyone affected by this incident.”
