Newly released body camera footage shows the moment when an Indianola, Mississippi, police officer shot and injured unarmed 11-year-old Aderrien Murry last year, after the child called 911 to his mother’s home.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations made the footage available on Monday. A grand jury declined last year to indict the officer, Sgt. Greg Capers, and he remains on the Indianola police force.
The footage shows Capers walking up to a home with his gun drawn on May 20. Murry had called police because he thought his mother was in danger. In the video, Capers approaches the door, shouting, “Let me see your hands” repeatedly while a woman stands at the door with her hands up.
Capers asks the woman to come out, while continuing to shout for a man who allegedly was causing a disturbance in the home.
With his gun drawn, Capers says: “Come on out,” multiple times.
