Police officer fatally shoots and killed unarmed naked man: Watch Video
More than 200 people turned out for a community meeting Saturday to protest the death of a young black man who was fatally shot by a Virginia police officer after he ran naked onto an interstate highway.
The police officer is under investigation after he shot and killed an unarmed naked man who lunged at him during a confrontation earlier this month.
A Video released by the Richmond Police Department showed a visibly disturbed Marcus-David Peters screaming and walking toward officer Michael Nyantakyi. He fired his stun gun several times, but Peters kept charging.

Seconds later, Nyantakyi fired two rounds from his firearm, striking Peters twice in the abdomen. Peters died later at a hospital.
“It was all said and done in 18 seconds, ladies and gentlemen. That’s fast. That’s important,” Richmond Police Chief Alfred Durham told reporters at a news conference Friday, when his department released videos that showed the last minutes of Peters’ life, adding that the unusual disclosure was in the interest of transparency. “I only wish that we could’ve helped Mr. Peters … Unfortunately, the situation didn’t turn out that way.”

But the release of the videos did little to comfort Peters’s family and friends, who said the man they saw in those videos was not the man they knew. The footage also had not answered the family’s lingering questions about the events that led to an unarmed man’s killing at the hands of a police officer.
