A Rapides Sheriff's Office dash cam video released Sunday shows Derick Kittling and a deputy engaged in a struggle before the officer shot and killed him after a traffic stop Nov. 6.
Louisiana State Police released the video during a news conference Sunday at Troop E headquarters in Alexandria.
In the video, Kittling, 45, reaches for deputy Rodney Anderson's Taser and a struggle ensues. The taser was fired at least once, the video shows, but it was unclear whether it hit Kittling or the deputy
That is one part of the incident State Police are still tryingt to determine, Col. Lamar Davis, State Police superintendent, said in response to reporters' questions.
Also shown during Sunday's news conference was a video recording taken from Anderson's body cam as well as another video taken by a bystander.
At A Call for Justice March for Kittling held Thursday in Alexandria, Ronald Haley, co-counsel of civil rights attorney Ben Crump, whom Kittling’s family has retained, said he spoke with a Louisiana State Police representative who assured him that the findings and vide would be released within a couple of days.
Haley told the crowd he believes the video will tell the complete story. He said they want the complete video — not a “chopped” version — from the moment the deputy’s body cam was turned on to the moment it was turned off, released to the public.
Rapides Sheriff Mark Wood called the Louisiana State Police to investigate. On Nov. 7, the LSP issued a statement about the ongoing investigation stating that during a traffic stop at Seventh and Broadway, "a physical confrontation occurred between the deputy and Kittling during which Kittling gained control of the deputy's Taser."
The deputy then discharged his weapon, striking Kittling, who was transported to a hospital and later died.
"We need the video. The full video. The whole video. We don't want no pieces. We need the whole video," Kittling's oldest daughter, LaNeesha Alexander, said at a news conference Thursday on the steps of the Rapides Parish Courthouse. Crying, Alexander said there was no reason for her father to be shot.
At a peaceful protest held the day after Kittling died, his uncle, the Rev. Herbert Green, Kittling's, said the family was not interested in a hurried investigation but want to learn the truth.
Services for Kittling were held Saturday at Zion Hill Church Family in Pineville. Burial followed in Greenwood Memorial Park Cemetery and Monument Company under the direction of Boyce Community Funeral Home.
Kittling had retired from Greenwood as a monument builder.
He was a member of St. James United People Church of which his uncle is pastor, states the obituary.
"We have to show people the love of God and have a good heart event if others don't," is a saying he often said, according to the obituary.
"He was known as a workaholic," it states. "It didn't mater how tired he was, as he always mustarded enough strength to help anyone he could no matter the time of day. He found pleasure helping others in various capacities, from feeding/clothing homeless individuals to landscaping, interior/exterior house repair and being a handy man.
In his spare time, Kittling played dominoes, basketball, football, collected coins, scrap metals and spending time with his family.
Kittling is survived by three daughters, LaNeesha Alexander, Taija Dotson and Rebecca Nichols; three brothers, Kenny L. VanBuren, Michael Kittling and James Kittling and three sisters, Lillie D. Kittling, Werleans Kittling and Lurlean Hudson.
