San Jose: New video released in March 27 police shooting of K’aun Green

SAN JOSE — Newly released police body-camera and security video reveal a new level of detail about a brawl inside a downtown taqueria and the police shooting that rapidly unfolded after K’aun Green backed out the front door holding a handgun taken from a man he and his friend were fighting.

Seconds later, a man who police identified as 30-year-old Bryan Carter brandishes a handgun — prompting dozens of patrons to rush out of the restaurant — but Green’s friend wraps up Carter and attempts to take control of the weapon. Green then gets up and helps his friend take the handgun away from Carter, with Green taking sole possession of the firearm.

Green is later shown walking backwards toward the front door as Carter and the man who Green fought continue walking after him, seeming to grab at the handgun, which Green is now holding up in the air in his left hand. Green was hospitalized after the shooting. Carter was arrested that day on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, police said.

In the police video package, Sgt. Christian Camarillo emphasizes how Green broke the orbital bone of the man he was punching. Officers did not know that when they approached the restaurant, however. Adanté Pointer, Green’s attorney, said Tuesday that the footage shows that his client didn’t point the gun at the police and the gun was out of his hands by the time he had been shot.
