Video shows Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Wende Kerl fatally shooting Danquirs Franklin on March 25, 2019.

The body camera footage released Monday shows two officers approaching 27-year-old Danquirs Napoleon Franklin outside of a Burger King and yelling for him to put his gun down.

Franklin is squatting next to a car and not moving as police approach him. As they shout at him, he can be seen raising his right hand with an object in it. He lowers his hand right around the time when an officer's first shot can be heard.

After the shooting an officer reaches under his body, says she's picking up his gun and pulls up a handgun.
