The wife of the African American man who that was shot dead in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday released dramatic video footage of the moments before and after her husband was shot by police.
Police in the city have so far refused to publicly release their own body-cam and dashcam footage that they say shows Keith Lamont Scott posed a threat to officers.
The smartphone footage filmed by his wife Rakeyia Scott, released by her lawyers to the New York Times and NBC News, will add to mounting pressure on Charlotte authorities to make the video public.
The two-minute, 16-second clip does not show the shooting itself, but captures the moments leading up to it, as Scott’s wife pleads with officers not to open fire.
