Videotape shows an unarmed 16-year-old as he runs away being shot by an Officer: it was justified Police says
Fresh released video of a deadly police shooting in April 2017 shows the moment an officer shot at an unarmed 16-year-old who jumped over a fence and tried to run away. Fresno Police in California, says the shooting was justified by three different official departments.
The surveillance camera footage, provided by attorney Stuart Chandler, shows 16-year-old Isiah Murrietta Golding climb a fence and enter a small yard as he is being chased by two officers.
Murrietta Golding, wearing a gray sweater, lands on his feet and starts to run. One officer climbs the fence while the other gets into a crouching stance and fires through the fence, the video shows. Murrietta Golding then stumbles and falls to the ground.
The bullet went through the back of the teen's head, according to the father's lawsuit, and he died three days later.
"The fact that the police department and the city of Fresno's police auditor all agreed that this shooting was justified is troubling in light of the video that clearly shows that it's not," Chandler told CNN.
