Police in Ohio have released bodycam footage showing an officer fatally shooting a pregnant black woman.
Ta'Kiya Young, 21, died on 24 August when she was shot while in her car outside a Kroger grocery store in Blendon Township, a suburb of Columbus.
Footage shows officers attempting to question her for alleged shoplifting.
One officer standing in front of her car is seen in the video released on Friday firing directly towards her as she appears to drive in his direction.
The video shows the two officers interacting with Ms Young for about one minute before the shot is fired.
One officer is seen standing at her door and repeatedly telling her to "get out of the car".
