The Metropolitan Police Department on Thursday released Bodycam Footage of an officer fatally shooting 18-year-old Deon Kay seconds after arriving at the scene in Washington, D.C.

Officers say the Black teen “brandished a firearm” during the Wednesday encounter, prompting one cop to shoot him in the chest. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, spurring immediate protests across the nation’s capital that continued into Thursday outside the mayor’s home. Officials revealed Thursday the officer who shot Kay is Alexander Alvarez, who joined the MPD in 2018.

The body-camera footage, which was released less than 24 hours after the incident, comes amid months of nationwide demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice since the police-killing of George Floyd in May. On Wednesday, some of the demonstrations in D.C. turned violent as residents demanded the termination of MPD Police Chief Peter Newsham and the release of the body-camera footage.
