Officials have released footage showing the moments after a metropolitan police officer shot and killed an unarmed black motorcyclist in Washington D.C. this month.

The D.C. mayors office released the video from the officers body camera after protesters at a Monday demonstration demanded answers and more transparency from police over the shooting, according to local reports. The protest was held at the intersection where Terrence Sterling, 31, was fatally shot on Sept. 11, in the neighborhood of Mount Vernon Square.

The graphic footage below only shows the moments that followed the shooting because the involved officer did not activate his body camera until after he shot Sterling, a press release from the mayors office said. D.C. officials later identified the shooting officer as 27-year-old Brian Trainer , who has been in the force for four years.

Protesters held another demonstration in front of D.C. police headquarters on Tuesday afternoon, demanding justice for Sterling.
