They break the window of her car, which has rolled into the brick wall of the supermarket, and pull her from the vehicle. The additional bodycam footage also shows police officers quickly rendering medical aid to Young after she is shot. “I see nothing but more evidence that a murder occurred, more evidence of the policy violations that occurred, and more reason why this officer should be terminated and indicted for murder,” Walton said. Walton told The Associated Press on Friday that while the witness ended up being mistaken, it does not change the fact that Young was killed for an alleged minor offense.
Sean Walton, the Young family's attorney, said earlier this week that his law firm had found a witness who stated that Young put down the bottles before leaving the store, and therefore had committed no crime. She and the two other women then leave without paying. Young can be seen putting multiple bottles of alcohol into her purse and a tote bag while out of sight of the cash register. The additional security footage made public on Friday shows Young and two other women walking around the liquor department of the Columbus-area store.

Earlier this week, police released bodycam footage showing the officer firing the gun. They have called for the officer, whose name has not been released, to be fired and charged in her death. Young's family members held a funeral for her on Thursday.
