The announcement that a Fairfax police officer would be fired came during the release of body-cam footage of Timothy Johnson's fatal shooting near Tysons.
, Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said the department will dismiss one of the officers involved, who is believed to have fired the fatal shots. Authorities later identified him as Sgt. Wesley Shifflett.
Davis said that the officer he decided to fire was given a notice of an “administrative separation” on Thursday and that his actions “do not meet the expectations of our police department.” The officer, the police chief said, did not follow the department’s use-of-force protocols.
“The best way to describe the video is to say first what was not on it,” Crews said. “What it doesn’t show: danger. It doesn’t show the officers faced any danger — imminent or otherwise.”and that she hoped the officers would be held accountable.
