A Metropolitan police officer who fatally shot an unarmed Black man eight years ago will face a gross misconduct hearing 'at the earliest opportunity', the Met police has said. The firearms officer only known as W80, shot Jermaine Baker , 28, during a Metropolitan Police operation, which foiled a plot to help two prisoners escape from a van in Wood Green on 11 December 2015.
The Met has supported the officer to fight the need for misconduct proceedings, but the Supreme Court backed the Independent Office for Police Conduct's (IOPC) decision in October that W80 should face a gross misconduct hearing. The decision was welcomed by Mr Baker's family, with his mother Margaret Smith demanding another police force conduct the disciplinary proceedings. The Met said: 'We have carefully reviewed the direction of the Independent Office for Police Conduct that W80 should face a misconduct hearing in connection with the fatal police shooting of Jermaine Baker in 2015.
