The footage from a police body camera shows an officer drawing his gun and approaching a red Honda Civic near Yale University in New Haven. A black man with dreadlocks is seen stepping out of the car and raising his hands into the air.

Almost instantly, the police officer appears to start shooting. He moves to the side of the car and continues to fire his weapon, shattering the passenger-side window. As he retreats, the sound on his body-cam kicks in.

“Twenty shots fired. Argyle street. With the car, with the car,” Officer Devin Eaton of the Hamden Police Department is heard shouting. A police officer from Yale University had approached from a different angle, and in a separate surveillance video is shown firing his weapon several times.

Connecticut State Police released the footage on Tuesday in response to persistent questions and calls for transparency over the April 16 shooting that took place about a mile from Yale and has prompted a week of protests.
