A new video has been released online apparently contradicting the US police account of the events which led to the killing of a second African-American man in Missouri.
23-year-old Kajieme Powell was gunned down by two Saint Louise police officers on Tuesday, exactly 10 days after the killing of black teenager Michael Brown in the suburb of Ferguson.
Local police officers claimed that they found an aggressive man, armed with a knife, and that they fired their weapons in fear of their lives.
But the new footage which has captured the moment when the cops shot at Powell seems to contradict that official version as the victim appears to be unarmed and NOT aggressive.
According to reports, Powell was shot nine times.
Viewer discretion is advised as you may find the following footage disturbing.
