Officials in Fairfax, VA, released a video on Wednesday of a 2017 police shooting where cops fired on the 25-year-old driver, whose family says he was unarmed, nine times at close range after he fled the scene of a minor traffic accident earlier that evening.
Bijan Ghaisar, who worked as an accountant at his father’s firm, had been driving home outside of Alexandria, VA, on November 17 of last year when he suddenly stopped and was rear-ended by an Uber driver. According to a police report obtained by The Washington Post, Ghaisar drove off after the collision and was shortly after identified by a U.S. Park Police officer, who initiated a pursuit with both lights and sirens turned on.
As captured in the dashcam footage, Ghaisar pulled over for police twice during the pursuit, after which he drove off again each time after officers approached his car with guns drawn. During a third stop in a residential neighborhood, Ghaisar’s car was boxed in by a police cruiser. As his car began to inch forward and to the right, officers opened fire, shooting him in the head four times, according to the family’s lawyers, citing medical records. It’s still not known why Ghaisar, who had no criminal record save for minor traffic violations, eluded police. He died of his wounds 10 days later in the same hospital where he was born.
