Newly-released body camera footage reveals the dramatic and deadly police shooting of a 27-year-old man who authorities say was armed in a North Carolina parking lot.
When two officers reached the parking lot, they saw Danquirs Franklin squatting next to an open car door, said police. Franklin remained crouched on the ground of the parking lot, next to an open car door, facing the inside of the car. Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said the video showed "the instant where a mother lost her son, children lost their father and a young man had his life end much too soon."
"I call on all of Charlotte to come together respectfully," Lyles stressed. "How we respond as a community will reflect how we honor the memory of Danquirs Franklin."
