A Tennessee police officer was charged with homicide on Thursday after he was filmed fatally shooting a man in the back, according to NBC News.

Metropolitan Nashville Police Officer Andrew R. Delke, 25, turned himself in following the fatal shooting of Daniel Hambrick on July 26, NBC News reported.

Delke, who is white, was recorded on a school’s surveillance camera chasing Hambrick, a 25-year-old black man, on foot. Hambrick was shot twice in the back and once in the back of his head, according to the warrant obtained by NBC News.

Delke is seen in the video taking a shooting stance and hitting Hambrick in the back as he runs away, according to NBC News. After Hambrick falls to the ground, Delke approaches him with his gun still drawn, NBC News reported.

He was released on a $25,000 bond and received a punishment from the police department equivalent to a full suspension from duty, according to NBC News.

Metro Nashville Police Chief Steven Anderson called the shooting a tragedy but declined to discuss the matter further on Thursday.

Delke previously worked on the task force that searches for stolen vehicles, according to the arrest warrant cited by NBC News.

He allegedly had been following what he dubbed a “suspicious” car, but was not registered as stolen when he ran the plates through a police database.

The arrest warrants states that he continued to pursue the car anyway to “see if he could develop a reason to stop” it.

Delke tried to pursue the car — a white Chevrolet Impala — but the driver did not stop for his blue lights, according to the warrant.

He never saw the driver of the car and eventually lost sight of it during a chase on the interstate, the warrant said.

Delke later pulled into a parking lot when he saw a white four-door sedan that he believed was the same car, according to the warrant. A man at the scene, later identified as Hambrick, allegedly took off running when he saw Delke pulled up and the officer followed after him.

Delke thought Hambrick "may have been connected to the white car" that he "misidentified as the target vehicle," the warrant states.

During the chase, Delke yelled for Hambrick to drop the weapon he was carrying, which was a 9 mm pistol, according to the Nashville Fraternal Order of Police.

"When Mr. Hambrick continued to run away and did not drop the gun, Officer Delke decided to use deadly force," firing four shots, the warrant says.

Hambrick’s mother, Vickie Hambrick, has called for Delke to be fired, accusing him of shooting her son over racial bias, according to NBC News.

Delke’s defense attorney, David Raybin, told The Tennessean newspaper that his client will plead not guilty.
