Chris Kaba killing: ‘We want answers,’ say heartbroken family The inquest into his death has opened
UNARMED: Chris Kaba was shot dead by police on 5 September in South London
Kaba, who was an expectant father and had dreams of becoming an architect, was then shot in the head by a police officer while unarmed in his vehicle. “How can a young man, sitting in a car, unarmed, be shot in the head by police in London in 2022? This should never have happened. It must never happen again. We must never accept this as normal. Someone must be held accountable.”
The police officer who shot the young black man was suspended from duties by The Met following pushback from critics. Bosela went on to say that many people are “concerned” along with the family about what happened to his cousin. “For many of them, Chris could have been their son, their brother, their cousin, their friend. In communities across London, what happened to Chris feels very personal. They understand and feel the pain our family is going through,” he said.
“My cousin Chris was very much loved by us. His loss is with us every day. He had a bright future ahead of him – his first child was about to be born. That his life was cut short by a police officer is a tragedy. We will not rest until the people responsible for Chris’ death are held fully accountable.”
