Update: The Officer Who Killed Terence Crutcher Has Been Charged With Manslaughter

Update:
Betty Shelby, the Tulsa police officer who shot and killed Terence Crutcher, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter. Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler announced the news on Thursday during a press conference captured by local TV news station KJRH, adding that a warrant had been issued for her arrest. Crutcher's death, he said, was on "the hearts and minds of many people in this community."

Original story:
An unarmed 40-year-old black man was killed by a white officer in Tulsa, OK, on Friday night, sparking outrage across local communities and social media. Video footage captured Terence Crutcher walking with his hands up toward his SUV on a highway before he was shot, according to NBC.

Police were reportedly responding to another call when they came across Crutcher's stalled car in the middle of a two-lane road. The video shows a female officer identified as Betty Shelby pointing her gun at Crutcher's back as three officers run up to them. Crutcher then appears to lower his hands into the vehicle and can be seen falling to the ground after Shelby shoots him. Shelby has worked Tulsa Police Department since 2011, according to ABC News, and has been placed on routine administrative leave with pay.

Her attorney, Scott Wood, told ABC that Crutcher had ignored a dozen commands from Shelby. She reportedly told him to get down on his knees but he instead put his left hand through the door's window, causing her to fire the shot, said Wood. Another officer reportedly tasered Crutcher at the same time. Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan said no weapon was found on Crutcher and that police would "achieve justice in this case."

Many thought Crutcher's killing was unjustified and another instance of police brutality against black people. "My impression is the video I saw is among the worst that we have seen nationally," Ray Owens, a pastor at a local church, told Mic. Owens was one of about 30 community leaders who went to the Tulsa Police headquarters on Sunday to watch the video. "The man who was shot was walking away from police with his hands in the air," he added. "That, to me, suggests that he did not present a threat."

Crutcher was a father of four and student at a local community college, reports Mic. After the video was released, #TerenceCrutcher began trending on Twitter. Here are some of the most notable reactions.

People shouldn't continue wondering why black communities don't trust the police, the evidence is literally all around us. #TerenceCrutcher

Black people should sue police departments for PTSD. This can't keep happening. #TerenceCrutcher

Nothing black people can do around police to ensure they are not shot & killed. Being black is enough for them to shoot. #TerenceCrutcher

Think of the time your car broke down. Now imagine the cops showing up and killing you. I know. It makes no sense. #TerenceCrutcher
