The sister of Kevin Hargraves-Shird watched a video Monday from the officer’s body camera.
Police said the officer saw Kevin Hargraves-Shird “armed with a handgun” before the officer fired one shot and struck the 31-year-old.
Hargraves and her father watched the video after she and about two dozen demonstrators marched to the Fourth District police station on Georgia Avenue. They angrily shouted at police in a demand for more answers.A police department spokesman, Dustin Sternbeck, said agency officials would not comment until additional details are learned through their investigation. Sternbeck did confirm Hargraves-Shird was struck in the head, but he would not describe the injury further.
“He gave commands,” Benedict said of the officer. “Those commands were not complied with.” Benedict later said the officer yelled “gun, gun, gun.” Hargraves said she did not hear the officer issue any other commands to drop a firearm in the video she reviewed.
