The wife of Keith Scott recorded the moments leading up to the shooting by the police in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A video of the incident was released to several media outlets on Friday, including his wife’s pleas to her husband not to exit a truck and telling the police not to shoot him. The video doesn’t actually show the shooting take place.

Scott’s death triggered protests and riots across Charlotte. Police said that he had a gun, while his family claimed he had a book when he was shot.
