(Reuters) - Body-worn camera footage released by District of Columbia police on Thursday shows a white officer fatally shoot a young Black man, then leave the suspect for others to attend as he searches for the gun that he says the suspect tossed away.
The video, capturing the first deadly Washington, D.C., police shooting since new bodycam rules and other reforms took effect in the District, was made public a day after 18-year-old Deon Kay, whom police described as a known street gang member, was killed.
