Chris Kaba’s car collided with police vehicle before he was shot, inquest told
The Independent says a car driven by a man shot dead by police in south London collided with an emergency service vehicle before a single shot was fired through the windscreen, a court has heard.
Chris Kaba, who died in Streatham Hill last month, was being followed by an unmarked police car which had no lights or sirens on in the minutes before the shooting, Inner South London Coroner’s Court was told on Tuesday.
After his Audi drove down Kirkstall Gardens on 5 September, he was blocked by a marked police vehicle and there was “contact” between the two cars, the court heard, before a marksman fired a single shot through the windscreen, which hit Mr Kaba in the head.
