Charlotte Cop Won't Face Charges In Shooting Death Of Keith Lamont Scott!
The officer who fatally shot Keith Lamont Scott won't face charges, a prosecutor said Wednesday, closing a two-month investigation into the killing that led to heated protests and divided the city of Charlotte. A total of 15 prosecutors unanimously agreed that Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Officer Brentley Vinson was justified in shooting Scott on September 20 in an apartment complex parking lot. Scott's relatives said he didn't have a gun, but "all the credible evidence" led to the conclusion that Scott was armed, Murray said. He said Scott's DNA was on the grip of a gun found at the scene. Murray also said at least three officers reported seeing Scott holding a gun before he was shot, though dashcam video did not show that detail. Posted By Persist
