A video of the fatal encounter between Charlotte police officers and Keith L. Scott has been released by the family. The cell phone footage was recorded by Scott’s wife, Rakeyia. The video, however, does not show Scott in the moments before a police officer opened fire, so it remains unclear whether he had a firearm. The gunshots can be heard, but Scott and the officers are not visible in the video at that moment. (Read the previous article here)
