Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police on Thursday released audio from the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.
Reviewing the videos, neither police dashcam or body-camera footage, shows the slain man pointing a gun at police officers.
What the video does not show is the exact moment Scott is shot on Tuesday by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers, but you can hear four shots fired in the background.
Taheshia Williams claims that the police are lying and trying to cover-up their "mistake." Meanwhile, police chief maintains that Scott was armed, despite reviewed video lacking “definitive, visual evidence that would confirm that a person is pointing a gun."
Authorities rushed the man to Carolinas Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
“One of the first things I did was to get down to his level, take a deep breath and not say anything for a couple minutes,” Officer Purdy said in an interview with WSOC.
