A London police officer who fatally shot a Black man two years ago has been acquitted of murder.
Martyn Blake, a 40-year-old marksman with the Metropolitan Police, was cleared by a London jury on Monday in the death of Chris Kaba.
Blake shot Kaba, 24, on September 5, 2022 on a narrow residential street in the Streatham Hill neighbourhood in south London.
Kaba was unarmed and driving an Audi that police believed was linked to a shooting the previous day, which they forced to stop.
He had tried to drive away while boxed in by police vehicles when Blake fired a single round through the Audi’s windshield after Kaba began ramming the police cars in an attempt to escape.
