An Indiana police department has released body camera video of a traffic stop in which a 22-year-old Black man was fatally shot by an officer, a death that prompted local protests. The Fort Wayne Police Department released a statement this week along with edited body camera footage of the Saturday evening stop, saying that the “actions from occupants inside the vehicle” caused the officer to fire. Police said a gun was pulled from the car following the shooting.
“He’s not going to,” someone in the car said. “Hey, stay back,” Wills said to someone who was not visible. “Don’t reach for that f---ing gun. Keep your hands on the dash.” The man moves his hand for a third time moments later, which is when Wills opens fire. A gun is not visible on camera during the exchange based on the angle of the camera. After shots are fired, the video fades to black and cuts to another shot of multiple officers surrounding the vehicle.
