The second murder in St. Louis just like the first murder has taken an interesting twist. We have heard on several occasions that Kajieme Powell challenged the officers to kill him with a knife held up in stabbing position and got as close as 3 feet from the officers. However cell phone footage has surfaced showing not only was he further away than 3 feet, but his hands were down at his side. In the footage we can also see the officers fire at least 9 shots 2 of which were fired after he was clearly on the ground.
After the shooting questions from the recorder and those around him began to spring up around the same issue. Why where the officers rolling him over and handcuffing what appears to be a dead body? It appears however that he did in fact steal 2 sodas and some other good from the store in order to make a statement of some sort.
The video can be found below, the police arrive on the scene at 1:20.
