Kenosha police shoot Black man as children watch from a car, attorney says
Kenosha officers were called to a domestic incident about 5:11 p.m., police said. The shooting unfolded on a residential street. It is unclear who called 911 or what happened before the recording begins.
In the video clip, an African American man walks around the front of a gray SUV with two officers a step or two behind him, one with his weapon trained on the man's back. As the Black man enters the driver side door of his car, the nearest officer grabs the tail of his tank top and seven shots are heard.
The man entering the car appears to go limp. A sustained car horn blares. A woman standing nearby appears to jump up and down in anguish.
Crump said the man was leaving the scene after "breaking up a fight between two women."
It is not clear from the video if both officers opened fire. The second officer has his gun out as the shots are heard, the video clip shows.
