'Most humiliating experience of my life:' Black North Carolina man after false burglar alarm originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

An African-American homeowner says he endured the "most humiliating experience of my life" when white police officers answered a false burglar alarm at his North Carolina home and ended up placing him in handcuffs at gunpoint and walking him to a police car in just his underwear as his neighbors watched.

"I was counting the seconds because I thought he was going to kill me," Kazeem Oyeneyin, 31, told ABC News on Saturday of the confrontation with police at his home in Raleigh. "He was shaking the gun. All he has to do is slip and hit that trigger and I'm dead."

Raleigh police official said the incident is under investigation.

"The Department is looking into this incident and reviewing our officers' actions," Raleigh police said in a statement to ABC station WTVD in Durham, North Carolina. "We have attempted to contact the homeowner several times over the past few days to discuss this incident with him."

Oyeneyin said the episode occurred on Aug. 17, when a friend who was staying at his home left and triggered his home security system.

He said he was asleep and didn't hear the alarm as soon as it went off, but his cellphone, which is linked to his security system, sounded and woke him up.

"I go downstairs. I disengage the alarm. I go back upstairs, I laid down. Twenty minutes later, I just hear these loud noises," Oyeneyin told ABC News. "So, I come down my steps, I grab my gun because I don't know who's in the house."

Oyeneyin said the incident happened at 12:21 p.m. and that he was sleeping because he works nights as a party and hip-hop concert promoter under the nickname "Tim Boss."

Security video in his home, which he shared with ABC News, shows an officer holding a gun in his hand and pushing open the unlocked front door and yelling, "Police. If you're inside, make yourself known. Come on out with your hands up."

Oyeneyin is heard in the video responding that he had a gun, prompting the officer to order him to drop the weapon and step outside the front door. But the homeowner paused in his foyer and began videoing with his cellphone while asking the officer, "What for?"

"Just turn around and put your hands behind your back and get down on your knees," the officer tells Oyeneyin, according to the security video.

When Oyeneyin again asked why and tried to explain he was in his own home, the officer still pointing a gun at him repeated that Oyeneyin get on his knees and to "turn around and face away from me," according to the video.

Oyeneyin eventually complied with the orders and the officer handcuffed him, the video shows. The homeowner asked to see the officer's supervisor as a police car siren is heard in the background.
