Body camera footage shows Akron police shooting of Michael Jones

The Akron Police Department on Saturday released surveillance and body camera footage depicting the Aug. 17 shooting in which an officer fatally shot a man suspected of stealing a vehicle in the parking lot of an East Avenue gas station. The footage shows the moments that led up to and followed 54-year-old Michael Jones' attempted arrest and eventual shooting at the hands of an Akron police veteran who had been with the department for two and a half years. The department provided bodycam footage from the two officers on scene as well as security footage from the gas station's exterior. In the video, an officer is seen walking up to Jones, who is sitting in the driver's side of the vehicle, and telling him to exit the vehicle multiple times. When the officer informs Jones he is under arrest, Jones responds "for what?," before the police officer appears to attempt to grab him and a struggle ensues. Bodycam footage is heavily obstructed from that point on, but the surveillance footage shows the vehicle drive away as the officers appear to hang from the open driver side door. In the bodycam footage, the car's horn can be heard and what appears to be Jones's arms can be seen turning the vehicle's steering wheel before the officer apparently warns, "You're going to get [expletive] shot" and two shots ring out.
