Racine, Wisconsin – The Racine County District Attorney’s Office released body camera footage of the fatal May 20 police shooting of Da’Shontay King Sr., 37, in conjunction with a decision not to press charges against the officer involved. . . . , Zachary Brenner. Police said they stopped a car while serving a search warrant for a criminal in possession of a firearm. According to police, King ran out of the car with a gun and led a police officer in a foot chase. Officer Brenner chased King over a fence and up a small hill. In the video, King then appears to drop a gun. As King lunged toward her, Officer Brenner opened fire.
Officers provided CPR, police said, but King died in hospital. The .9mm pistol was recovered from King. An analysis at the Wisconsin State Crime Lab revealed that the gun had also been used in a shooting in Edgewood and St. Patrick on April 21st. Chief Robinson says the shooting resulted in property damage. The weapon contained King’s DNA. King family attorney William Sulton said he is requesting the final cause of death in the coroner’s report, which he believes will show the officer used unreasonable force to stop King.
