Winston Smith's cell phone video of shooting [Warning: Graphic]
Here is the video Winston Smith recorded when he was fatally shot by authorities in June 2021. Warning: This video is graphic. The BCA says, "The officers at the vehicle’s window begin to strike it in an attempt to gain access to Mr. Smith. While the officers’ actions are not captured on video, the noise of the strikes and glass shards coming from the window toward Mr. Smith are observable. It has been noted by the BCA that the glass of this window did not easily shatter. Therefore, to a casual observer of the video, it would be easy to mistake the sounds of the strikes and the ensuing glass shards as gunshots coming into the vehicle."
