Officer Kerrick fired 12 shots at Ferrell early Saturday as the 24-year-old came toward the officer apparently seeking help after a car wreck. Ferrell had banged on the door of a residence, causing a woman living there to call 911 to report a possible break in.
The Ferrell family attorney has given a different account of the video that Laughrun. Chris Chestnut said the dash-cam footage shows shots were fired before any warnings or commands were given, reports the Charlotte Observer .
The agency has not released the patrol car video for public viewing. However, the 911 call from the home has been released and can be heard here .
On Thursday, Mecklenburg District Attorney Andrew Murray asked the North Carolina Attorney General's Office to prosecute the case against the officer, who has been charged with voluntary manslaughter, reports The Observer .
