DALLAS, TX — Another Dallas police officer is under investigation for shooting an unarmed man as he surrendered with both hands in the air.
Witness Scottie Smith II said he watched as a Dallas police officer shot carjacking suspect Kelvion Walker, 19, who had both hands in the air. The incident occurred on December 9th, 2013.
The officer was identified as Senior Cpl. Amy Wilburn, who was hired in 2001 and is a veteran officer. Walker was not charged with a crime and was put into critical condition at a Dallas hospital following the shooting.
The Dallas Police Department issued a news release late Tuesday about the shooting. The statement said that no weapons were found in the car. It also said police were reviewing dash cam video from the squad cars and were attempting to enhance the video in order to assist in the investigation.
The statement did say that investigators had spoken to an independent witness who told them that Walker had both his hands in the air.
“He was screaming,” said Robert Rogers, who is representing Walker. “It was clear to her that there wasn’t a threat once she could see both hands. He was obviously incapacitated.”
