Buffalo Police Officer Fatally Shoots Man While Being Dragged by Car

A man identified as Deon, is speaking with police officers outside of a car. Deon explains that the car belongs to his sister and that he was taking care of his nephew in the back seat. The officers ask for identification and notice the tinted windows, which they believe to be illegal.

Deon becomes agitated and mentions that he gets pulled over frequently. He also shares that his brother, Jaylen Griffin, had recently passed away. The conversation escalates when the officers ask Deon to check the back seat for weapons and drugs. Deon complies, but expresses frustration and regret for not ensuring the nephew was buckled up properly. The situation ends with Deon being handcuffed and the officers discovering a toy gun in the car. It’s important to note that the full context of the situation, including the actions of the police officers leading up to the shooting, is not covered in this transcript excerpt.
