Call for protests in US after unarmed black man shot dead by off-duty officer

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

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.
