BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Police video shows an unarmed man killed by a Montana police officer was told repeatedly to raise his hands before the officer shot him.
Billings Police Officer Grant Morrison shot 38-year-old Richard Ramirez during an April traffic stop.
In the previously unreleased video from Morrison's patrol car dash-cam, he can be heard yelling "Hands up!" at least six times before firing three shots into the vehicle in rapid succession.
Ramirez's actions can't be seen in the footage.
The video was shown Tuesday during an inquest that will determine if Morrison's actions were justified. Ramirez's family wants him prosecuted.
Morrison is expected to testify Wednesday.
Ramirez was the fifth man fatally shot during a two-year period by law enforcement in Billings, Montana's most populous city.
