Police have released the bodycamera footage of the shooting of #DeonKay in Southeast Washington DC.
Needless to say, it is graphic, so viewer discretion advised.
Note that the blurring was in the police release of the footage, not added by me.

Video appears to show Deon Kay was running from police with a handgun in his right hand when an officer got in front of him.
Kay throws the gun away as he tries to turn away from the officer.
He does not fire it.
The officer shoots him once as Kay's gun is in the air.

Here is the full bodycamera footage released in the shooting of Deon Kay by police.
I tweeted a lot yesterday from the scene of the shooting itself, but for history's sake, here's my own HD footage from the shooting scene including an interview with City Councilman @trayonwhite who was promptly at the scene as well.
