Police released multiple body camera and security videos Thursday of an incident last week that ended with officers shooting a 20-year-old Black man in the Lake Lansing Meijer parking lot. In the videos, multiple officers can be seen chasing the man out of the grocery store and into the parking lot, where the shooting takes place. DeAnthony VanAtten, 20, who was shot twice, has been released from the Ingham County Jail. He was treated at Sparrow Hospital and later transferred to the jail while being held on a probation violation warrant, according to Michigan State Police, who are investigating the incident. The Ingham County Sheriff’s Office took VanAtten into custody last week while he was still in the hospital. Black Lives Matter Lansing released the 20-year-old’s name Monday before a news conference the following day outside the county jail with his family. Officials haven't identified any of the police officers involved. Two officers remain on paid leave pending MSP's investigation, officials said. The videos provided by police Thursday include body camera footage and outdoor security footage from the Meijer store. Indoor security footage exists but was not included in the release, officials said. Faces, license plates and other identifying information was blurred to conceal identities. One bodycam video shows an officer encountering VanAtten running out of the store, grocery bag in hand, while the officer points his gun at him. In the video, VanAtten puts his hands up briefly before sprinting toward the parking lot. Another officer is seen chasing after the man with a taser. As VanAtten turns to run in the opposite direction, the officer pulls out his handgun, saying he saw the 20-year-old reaching for a gun. He fires his handgun two times from behind a pickup truck. At that point, the first officer is seen catching up and crouching behind a car before firing six shots at the 20-year-old as he's running away. The two officers who fired their weapons are seen standing above VanAtten for about 40 seconds yelling at him to put his hands behind his back and roll over. They handcuff him and begin administering first aid. VanAtten can be heard yelling "I can't breathe" and "You just shot me for no reason" as the officers search for his two wounds, one on his right leg and the other on his abdomen. As several officers tend to VanAtten's wounds, others search the parking lot for the gun they believed to be his. Shortly after, an officer looks under a nearby car and find a silver handgun. At Thursday's news conference, police declined to say for what crime VanAtten was being investigated; Michigan State Police said Tuesday that he had not been formally charged with anything at that point. Police also did not specify the reason for the probation violation warrant. East Lansing Police Chief Kim Johnson said Michigan State Police will eventually turn over the case to the state Attorney General's office. Johnson said he made the decision to place two officers on leave. He also said the department will be reviewing all of its policies at some point in the future, but did not specify how those policies might change to prevent the situation from arising again.
