The firearms officer who fatally shot Chris Kaba in south London a week ago has been suspended from duty over the incident, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The 24-year-old rapper was killed last Monday night (5 September) after a police pursuit of a car that officers say was linked to a previous firearms offence ended in Streatham Hill, south London.
Police say the decision was made after 'careful consideration' of a number of factors, and that their 'thoughts and sympathies' remained with Mr Kaba's family and friends. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has also launched a homicide investigation into his death.
