Detroit police released camera footage during a fatal shooting hours after it occurred on Friday, and it appears to show the suspect pulling a gun and firing at an officer before officers return fire, killing him.
Hakim Littleton’s death prompted protests. Detroit Police Chief James Craig said that the footage was released to “set the record straight,” according to the Detroit Free Press. There were rumors, he said, that Littleton was unarmed when he was shot and was “executed” by police.
