According to U.S. media such as the Washington Post and USA Today, Sonya Mash, 36, a black woman living in Springfield, Illinois, was shot and killed by police at around 1 a.m. on the 6th.
According to the video released ahead of the court ruling, Mash reported to the police that there was a suspicious person outside the house at the time.
Police who arrived a short time later searched the house in and out of the house, but there was no unusual situation.
When asked about his mental health condition at home, Mash replied "I'm on psychiatric medication."
Things have changed dramatically since then.
Mash headed for the water that was boiling on the gas stove, and the cops were saying, Where are you going?`````````````````.
At this point, when Mash complained to a white police officer with a pot of hot water, the police shouted "Put the pot down right now" and pointed the pistol at him.
Mash curled up apologizing "sorry" and one officer fired three pistols. One of them was a fatal headshot wound.
After that, the police who shot the gun began to act suspiciously, the prosecution pointed out.
Prosecutors said the officer did nothing to help Mash, who was alive at the time"On the contrary, he claimed that he prevented another police officer from trying to bring a medical kit."
"Even the body camera attached to the body was not turned on..." he added.
Mash was taken to the hospital by the paramedics who were dispatched, but he died in the end.
The officer, who has worked since August 2020, was immediately dismissed and detained.
Prosecutors have charged him with first-degree murder and official misconduct, but he has pleaded not guilty.
