A London police officer has been acquitted of murder in the fatal shooting of a Black motorist, which occurred two years ago. The officer, a Metropolitan Police marksman, was cleared by a London jury in the case that sparked mistrust among many in the city's Black communities.
The incident involved the shooting of Chris Kaba, a 24-year-old unarmed motorist who was driving a vehicle that had been linked to a previous shooting. Kaba was shot in the head by the police officer after his vehicle was cornered by two police cars in a residential neighborhood.
