Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said body camera footage played a key role in showing the events leading up to the shooting.

Earlier that day, a probation officer issued an advisory to police letting them know Carey had violated the terms of his probation. The advisory included a warning to officers — in 2015, Carey fired a gun into a car full of people.
Eventually, he gave a false name, identifying himself as Willie Walton III. Still, Officer Hawkins engaged in a polite exchange with him about his dreadlocks.
“How often do you, like, shampoo your hair?” asked Hawkins.
“I don’t really shampoo it that much, because then it thins.
