“He has no weapon. Don’t shoot him,” Rakeyia Scott says.
“Drop the gun! Drop the f—ing gun!” an officer is heard yelling multiple times in front of parked vehicles.
“He doesn’t have a gun, he has a T.B.I. [traumatic brain injury],” his wife says. “He is not going to do anything to you guys. He just took his medicine.”Officers are heard multiple times telling Keith Scott to drop a weapon as his wife urges the man to get out of the vehicle before shots ring out.
“Did you shoot him? Did you shoot him? Did you shoot him? He better not be f—ing dead,” his wife is heard saying. “He better live.”
