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.
