Police officer who shot dead Chris Kaba charged with murder
Sky News says The Metropolitan Police officer who shot dead Chris Kaba will face a murder charge, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
Mr Kaba, 24, died the day after he was hit by a single gunshot from a police firearms officer in Streatham Hill on 5 September last year.
The car he was driving was followed through south London by an unmarked police car with no lights or sirens.
He then turned into Kirkstall Gardens, a narrow residential street, where there was a collision between the vehicle he was in and a marked police car that was waiting for him at the scene.
The officer who was in that marked vehicle – referred to as NX121 for legal reasons – fired one shot through the windscreen, hitting Mr Kaba in the head.
