The DC Metropolitan Police Department has released the body camera footage of the fatal officer involved shooting of Deon Kay.
At approximately 3:51 p.m., uniformed police officers responded to a call to investigate a man in a vehicle with a gun. When they arrived, they found four people in the vehicle. Two of them fled, including Kay.
During the chase, Kay brandished a firearm.
At this point, an officer fired one single shot, hitting Kay in the chest. The suspect was transported to the hospital for treatment, but it was unsuccessful.
A photo of his gun recovered at the scene has also been released by the police department:
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Kay’s social media featured him and a friend pointing guns at the camera.
The two people who remained in the vehicle, Marcyelle Smith and Deonte Brown, were arrested.
Smith, 19, also had a handgun. He was charged with carrying a pistol without a license.
The other suspect who fled with Kay has not yet been apprehended.
Despite this being a clearly justified shooting, Black Lives Matter protested at the police department and at DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s home, before all the information was even made public.
