Officials Release Video in Unarmed Teen’s Death

1 minute read

A security company has released surveillance footage showing the moments just before an unarmed college football player was shot to death by a police officer at an Arlington, Tex. car dealership.

In the video—which has been edited—Christian Taylor, 19, is shown wandering the dealership lot, at one point climbing on the windshield of a car and kicking it.

Police were responding to a 911 call about a possible burglary and surveillance cameras picked up on Taylor’s movement.

Police said Officer Brad Miller and his training officer arriving at the scene, telling Taylor, who is black, to get on the ground. Taylor did not comply with calls to surrender, instead running away, at which point Miller fired four shots and his training officer used a Taser.

Local authorities have asked the FBI for help in determining what exactly happened. Miller is on administrative leave while investigations continue.
