Newly released body camera footage shows the moments leading up to the fatal police shooting of Steve Perkins, an armed Black man, outside his home in Decatur, Alabama. Officer Mac Marquette, who fired the shots, faces murder charges but claims protection under Alabama’s “stand your ground” law. The incident occurred during the attempted repossession of Perkins’ truck, with the video showing Perkins pointing a gun before Marquette fired 17 bullets. The case has sparked significant protest and will proceed to trial if immunity is denied.
