A group of faith leaders in Kansas City on Tuesday released video footage they say captures events inside the gas station where Malcolm Johnson was fatally shot by police on March 25.

The faith leaders, led by Darron Edwards of United Believers Community Church, the Rev. Emanuel Cleaver III, senior pastor of St. James United Methodist Church, and Ron Lindsay of Concord Fortress of Hope Church, said the video contradicts the version of events given by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The highway patrol has been in charge of the investigation since Johnson, 31, was shot and killed by a police officer in the gas station at 63rd Street and Prospect Avenue. At the time of the shooting, the patrol said officers were arresting Johnson in connection with a previous shooting, there was a struggle, and he shot an officer in the leg before the wounded officer shot and killed him.

The group said they tried to bring the video to law enforcement but were dismissed. So they decided to hold a news conference and release the video.

“What I saw was an execution, Edwards said. “We stand on a moral obligation. We want to demand change and we demand it now.”

Cleaver said all four police officers involved in the shooting should be immediately fired and criminally charged.

The video does not show the shooting itself. But the faith leaders said it, and other facts surrounding the shooting, showed the initial account given by the highway patrol was not accurate.

THE VIDEO
The two minutes and 28 seconds of surveillance video shows two uniformed Kansas City police officers with their handguns drawn approaching a man dressed in a hooded jacket standing in front of the check out window inside the gas station.

The man, who faith leaders said is Johnson, 31, is seen standing at the counter. He scratches off a lottery ticket, then passes it to the store clerk.

He then turns around as the two officers in uniforms immediately appear to grab his arms, their guns drawn. The man looks like he breaks free briefly, takes a few steps forward, as if he’s trying to run, before the video shows what appears to be the officers pulling him away from the gas station door.

The struggle between the officers and the man continues as food items stocked on shelves are kicked on the floor.

Two more officers enter the store and try to help restrain the man, according to the video. The camera angle only shows the man’s feet as he continues to struggle with the officers.

A female sergeant enters the store and talks on her radio. No audio accompanies the video.

The man and officers stay mostly out of the camera’s view, their feet still visible, for about 80 seconds before the video shows what appears to be an officer who is wounded in the leg being rushed out of the store by the sergeant and two other officers.
