WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US state of South Carolina authorities will not charge police officer Kevin Davis for shooting dead a 17-year-old African-American boy in April, Fifth Circuit Solicitor Byron Gipson said in a press briefing.
Gipson added that a review of body cam evidence confirmed that Ruffin, 17, pulled a .45 revolver on the officer. Davis fired 10 shots, one of which hit Ruffin in the forehead and killed him.
Ruffin’s death led to days of protests in the town of Columbia and has been compared to the death in police custody of African-American George Floyd that set off weeks of peaceful protests, with many of which later turning violent across the United States.
