The horrid footage behind a June police shooting in Milwaukee that claimed the life of an unborn baby has just been released by officials. Family members say the video was “extremely scary” to watch.

The controversial traffic stop occurred June 20 at the corner of N. 17th Street and W. Vliet Street, authorities said. Police sought the occupants of the vehicle in connection to two prior attempted armed carjackings. Officials said officers went on a speed chase until the car was blocked inside a construction lane by a cement truck. MPD officers then approached the car giving several commands to the occupants of the car to exit: six teenagers.

Police said the driver, 17-year-old Calveyon Jeans, then reversed the vehicle, hitting the squad car behind it. Jeans then drove forward and reversed again as an officer stood behind the vehicle, police said. Another officer fired into the vehicle striking two of the teens: Jeans and his 18-year-old girlfriend who was six months pregnant, per The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The teens were transported to the hospital for treatment. However, the unborn infant did not survive the injuries, authorities said.

The Police Video

In the police footage released Friday, the vehicle is seen pulled over but speeds off seconds later. The car then makes a U-turn, runs through a light and swerves into the opposite lane. After a few minutes of driving in and out the opposite flow of traffic, the car eventually led the police onto the highway, per the video.

The vehicle then drives into the construction lane and meets a dead-end where a cement truck was parked, according to another dash cam video. The vehicle is seen trying to make a U-turn inside the lane as three officers approached with their guns drawn. Before the vehicle finished turning, one officer fired into the driver’s window. In the video, four to five teens were ordered out of the car and placed in handcuffs. More officers arrived as they cleared the vehicle.

Jeans was escorted out of the car last, appearing to be bloodied, per the video. One officer appears to provide aid to him on the ground. Jeans was unresponsive to the officer’s questions. There were little to no visuals of the pregnant teen being taken out of the car. Officers are heard in the video saying three teens were shot.

The Aftermath

Following the shooting, the department stated the officer who fired the shots was placed on administrative duty. Meanwhile, Jeans’ family are trying to understand why he used the level of force he did.

“I just would not believe that they would use deadly force when he’s simply still just trying to evade police and capture. Nothing about his action showed he was trying to hurt any officer,” said Calvin Jeans, via the Journal Sentinel. He said his son is currently in county jail.

According to the police department’s use of force policy, officers are prohibited from firing at moving vehicles “unless deadly physical force is being used against the police member or another person by means other than a moving vehicle.” The use of force may be justified if the officer perceived the vehicle is being used as a weapon against the officer.

Authorities said the vehicle in question was stolen and a firearm was recovered from inside. Jeans was slammed with nine charges including second-degree recklessly endangering safety, operating a motor vehicle to flee or in an attempt to elude an officer and armed robbery. Three other teens, including the pregnant girl, were also slammed with armed robbery charges.
