FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Fort Wayne Police Department released body camera footage from a fatal police shooting June 22nd. 22-year-old Linzell Parhm was shot and killed during a traffic stop.

Camera footage showed a police officer asking Parhm to put his hands on the dashboard. Parhm originally put his hands on the dash, but continued to move them and reach for a semiautomatic handgun on the floor of the car.
Parhm was shot by the officer after several failed commands to keep his hands on the dashboard.

The gun found in the car was reported as a 7.62mm Draco AK Pistol, a semiautomatic handgun.
