Footage from police officer Greg Capers' body camera shows the moment 11-year-old Aderrien Murry is shot in the chest by a police officer in Mississippi, USA.
The images were released by the state Department of Public Safety, according to ABC.
The video shows the Indianola officer arriving at Aderrien Murry's home one morning in May 2023 after the teen called police to his home because his father was threatening his mother.
It also showed the moment Capers shot the unarmed boy in the chest, just as the boy entered the room and raised his hands. Murry survived, but suffered serious injuries and had to undergo expensive medical treatment.
In December, the American courts chose not to indict Capers, concluding that he had no criminal intent when he shot Murry.
The Murrys also filed a civil lawsuit in May against Capers, the city of Indianola, and its police chief, seeking $5 million in damages for Capers' alleged “reckless disregard” for the Murrys' rights and safety.
