Early on the morning of August 25, 2021, the DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) executed 27- year old An'Twan Gilmore, a Black man, as he slept in his car. This was the second person MPD shot in 9 hours. Statements given by Chief Contee have been contradictory and unclear and somehow "the officer’s body camera was activated but that part of the shooting is obstructed by the protective shield the officer was holding". We are clear what this means, and that is completely unacceptable. We must take immediate action.
