The Metropolitan Police Department said officers responded to an incident in southeast capital, shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday, in connection with reports of the presence of a man with a weapon in the area.

The video shows police heading to a parked vehicle where Kay and another man are sitting, before they both start running. Kay, dressed in dark jeans and a white T-shirt, appears to have an object in his hand when he turns around and sees the officer, who shoots him once in the chest.

The 18-year-old falls to the ground and is heard screaming, clutching his chest, as his shirt fills with blood. Then the officer starts looking for the gun that Kay was told he was holding and finds it, after a few seconds, saying “I found it, that’s what kept it going.”
