Videos released by the Richmond Police Department showed a visibly disturbed Marcus-David Peters screaming and walking toward officer Michael Nyantakyi. Seconds later, Nyantakyi fired two rounds from his firearm, striking Peters twice in the abdomen. “Marcus needed help, not death,” his sister, Princess Blanding, told reporters shortly after the videos were released Friday. Durham said the police department showed the videos to Peters’s family a few days before releasing them to the media. If you do, shame on you.”Shortly after the news conference, Peters’s family spoke to the media, raising questions about Nyantakyi’s actions.
