Newly released footage shows the incident in which 24-year-old Chris Kaba was fatally shot by police officer Martyn Blake during a police stop on a residential street in south London on 5 September 2022. On Monday, a jury acquitted Blake of murder after deliberating for just less than three hours. The clips show Kaba's black Audi boxed in by police vehicles, and while he tries to escape, Blake fires the fatal shot. Kaba's Audi was believed to have been linked to a shooting the previous evening. Blake said he had fired the shot at Kaba in self-defence but the prosecution argued that the car was boxed in and could not hurt the officers at the scene. Some viewers may find the footage distressing
