Body Cam Footage: Fatal Shooting of Ronald Davis

[KC]

Police released the body camera footage today of a St. Paul officer who fatally shot a man just over a week ago. Police Chief Todd Axtell released the video during a media briefing, after it was showed to Ronald Kerry Davis‘ family.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is investigating, says Davis rear-ended Officer Steve Mattson’s squad car on Sept. 15 at Thomas Avenue and Griggs Street.

Davis, 31, then confronted Mattson with a knife, according to the BCA.

Mattson repeatedly told Davis to drop the knife and shot him, the BCA said. The agency’s investigation is ongoing.

Davis’ family has many questions and wants to see the body-camera footage, said Kevin Richardson, who was in a relationship with Davis’ mother and helped raise Davis from the time he was a baby until he was 8 or 9.

“How did a traffic accident turn into someone’s life being taken?” Richardson said Tuesday. “He would have never, ever jumped out and confronted a police officer with a weapon. I know his character, I know his demeanor. He’s not that kind of way.”
