Washington, D.C. – On July 30, 2022 at around 4 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Longfellow Street in Northwest for reports of two juveniles, aged 17 and 15, who had been shot in a nearby Auto Zone parking lot.

Police say a 911 caller told police that they saw a person hide a firearm in the area, before fleeing the scene in a white sedan. An officer who was responding to that call, found the white sedan described by the caller, and began following it in a marked police vehicle.

Once at the intersection of 2nd Street and Madison Street, the car crashed into a curb and became disabled. That's when four individuals jumped out of the car. Three of them ran away, and the fourth exited the car as the pursuing police officer arrived at the scene. Police say they are still searching for the three other suspect who fled the scene.

The body camera footage then shows the uniformed officer open his car door, partially exit, and yell "gun" at least five times before firing his weapon one time into the head of a man, identified as 31-year-old Kevin Hargraves-Shird.

Paramedics took Hargraves-Shird to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. A gun belonging to Hargraves-Shird was recovered at the scene of the officer-involved shooting and three additional guns related to the incident were recovered near the scene of the first shooting.
