A black man who was fatally shot by police in Oklahoma, after his car broke down in the road was unarmed, police say.

Terence Crutcher, 40, was shot September 16 in Tulsa, the Associated Press reports. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

Tulsa Police said the shooting occurred near 36th Street and Lewis Avenue about 8 p.m., KOTV reports.

Crutcher?s SUV had stalled in the middle of the road, and police arrived to check on the situation, according to the news station.

?As they approached the vehicle a black male started towards them,? Tulsa Police spokesperson Jeanne Mackenzie told KOTV. ?They asked him to show his hands. He refused to follow commands given by the officers. They continued to talk to him. He continued not to listen, not follow any commands as they got closer to the vehicle he reached inside the vehicle and at that time there was a Taser deployment and then a short time later there was one shot fired.?

The shooting was captured on a dashboard camera. The video was released to the public Monday afternoon. It was shown to family members and community leaders on Sunday.

The officer who shot Crutcher has been identified as Betty Shelby. The officer who deployed his Taser was named as Tyler Turnbough.

Police Chief Chuck Jordan said Shelby was on the way to another call when she encountered Crutcher and his vehicle. Jordan, who said he is unable to release many details because of open investigation, said Shelby requested backup because she was ?not having cooperation? from Crutcher.

Crutcher was initially identified by police as Terrence Crutcher. He is also named in some public records as Terance Crutcher.

I don't think it really matters to our government at this point
I pray for his family
the officers who did it won't have any type of punishment
and paid suspension is not punishment
Life goes on

Really disgusted at this country. Bitch, there should be no reason to question why we say #BLM especially in this case. Not justified AT ALL!
