A nearby bystander can be heard exclaiming, “Oh my God!”

The Sterling family was able to view the video before it was made public.

Sterling was shot by Trainer after his motorcycle crashed into the passenger side of a police squad car. Sterling, on his way home from a bachelor party, was shot in Northwest on his way home to Fort Washington, Md.

“At approximately 4:30 a.m., an officer observed a motorcyclist driving recklessly near the 1700 block of U Street, Northwest. A few minutes later, another MPD officer observed a motorcycle matching the same description near 3rd Street and M Street, Northwest. When the officer was exiting the passenger side of his marked police cruiser to stop the driver, the motorcyclist intentionally drove into the passenger door and the officer fired his service weapon,” the police news release on the shooting reads.

However, witnesses have disputed the police account.

According to FOX 5 DC, witness Kandace Simms was sitting in her car waiting for the light to change when: “Sterling rode his bike down the left lane next to her, and he suddenly collided with a Metropolitan Police Department cruiser. Simms says the cruiser pulled into the intersection in what appeared to be an attempt to block the motorcycle, and the collision in her opinion was unavoidable.

“She tells FOX 5 Sterling then revved the engine, and appeared to be trying to find a way to drive off when the window on the passenger side of the marked cruiser rolled down, and the officer in the passenger seat fired two shots. Simms says she heard no commands from the officer, and neither the police car’s lights nor the siren were on. Sterling, she says, immediately fell off the bike and she could see blood coming from the area around his helmet.”

In the last 30 days, D.C. police officers have activated body cameras 55,000 times, interim Police Chief Peter Newsham said following the shooting. Though there have been 10 instances when officers should have turned on their cameras and did not, no officers have been disciplined for failing to do so.
