Miami-Dade Sheriff Releases Video From Fatal Walmart Shooting of Alleged Shoplifter

The agency says the public disclosure is about transparency, with a state investigation still in progress.

Overview

  • A five-minute compilation of bodycam and surveillance footage shows a deputy struggling with 36-year-old Kennedy Graham before he breaks free and runs.
  • Slowed video and highlighted frames indicate what officials say is a gun in Graham’s hand, and a photo of the apparent weapon was released.
  • The deputy fires three shots as Graham runs from the parking lot, after which Graham collapses, receives medical aid, and is later pronounced dead at a hospital.
  • The deputy has not been publicly identified; Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz described him as a 37-year-old, five-year member of the agency.
  • The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is conducting an independent investigation, and Graham’s family contends the shooting was preventable.
