Shooting of Chris Kaba

Chris Kaba was a member of the rap group 67, who was shot dead by police in Streatham Hill, London, England, on 5 September 2022. On the day of the shooting, an unmarked vehicle followed the car Kaba was driving (which had been linked to a firearms incident the previous day) until it met a police road block. Armed police who had been in a marked car approached on foot. Witnesses said that Kaba refused to leave the car and drove it into one of the police cars. One of the armed officers fired a single round at Kaba through the car windscreen. He was taken to hospital but died of his injuries the following day. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) then began an investigation into the shooting.

In September 2023, a police officer was charged with Kaba's murder.
