WASHINGTON: The death of an unarmed African-American man shot by an off-duty white police officer under mysterious circumstances has fuelled outrage in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where relatives of the victim are calling for protests Thursday.

Hash, employed by the city since 2005, was off duty when the shooting occurred on Saturday afternoon. In an amateur video, filmed just after the shooting and posted online, the police officer explains to colleagues called to the scene that Walker jumped into the middle of the street and that he braked to avoid him.

According to police, Hash's black pickup truck had no visible dents and Walker's body did not show any signs of impact other than bullet wounds.
