Ohio Police Release Bodycam Video of Officer Shooting 15-Year-Old Boy with Toy Gun

Newly released bodycam footage shows a 15-year-old boy being shot by an Ohio cop who mistook his toy gun for a real weapon. The officer, who had been previously fired and rehired, opened fire almost immediately, striking the boy in the wrist. The boy, Tavion Koonce-Williams, repeatedly shouted that the gun was fake and that he just wanted to be safe. The officer has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, and the family's attorney has criticized the police department's actions.

Controversial Philadelphia Police Shooting Sparks Calls for Transparency and Officer's Termination

Philadelphia's police commissioner intends to fire Officer Mark Dial, who fatally shot 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop. Video evidence contradicted the initial police account, leading to the decision. Commissioner Danielle Outlaw cited violations of the department's disciplinary code, including insubordination and conduct unbecoming. The police union supports Dial, and the criminal investigation is ongoing. The surveillance video showed Irizarry inside his vehicle when the officer fired six shots, prompting questions about the initial police report. The family has not seen the body-camera footage, and the attorney plans to provide the surveillance video to law enforcement agencies.
