Family of London rapper Chris Kaba shot dead by Metropolitan Police officers brand force 'totally racist' as they say they are 'heartbroken'
"Police have taken Chris from me, I don't know how to say, but I need justice to be done for Chris. This is very racist, it is no good.Father Prosper Kaba said: "We are shocked to see that, in this century, from specialists of the law, like police, can shortcut someone's life, especially a young boy.
The family have urged the the IOPC to reveal details on whether a weapon relating to Mr Kaba's death had been found in a statement released on Wednesday. Chris - also known as Madix - received treatment at the scene but died early the next morning after being rushed to hospital.His death is now under investigation by the IOPC, with them having been at the scene overnight, and on Tuesday, to gather evidence.A detailed search of the scene has been completed and "no non-police issue firearm has been recovered from the vehicle or the scene", the IOPC said.
"We can confirm that around 10pm, as armed officers attempted to stop and contain the vehicle, a single shot was discharged by a police officer. "We have today told the Independent Office for Police Conduct of that demand and that we do not want any delay as has happened in other fatal shootings – otherwise we and the wider public can have no confidence that the police will be held to account.
