Terence Crutcher, a 40-year-old black Tulsa man, was shot and killed Sept. 16, 2016, by Betty Shelby, a white Tulsa police officer. Shelby was responding to a disturbance call when she saw Crutcher’s SUV in the middle of the road on 36th Street North just west of Lewis Avenue.

The encounter between the two was recorded by a TPD helicopter as well as by dash cameras in vehicles belonging to backing officers. Crutcher, who Shelby said was not complying with her orders to stop and get on the ground, walked back to his SUV with his hands up. Police have said he reached inside the SUV’s window, which Shelby said caused her to fear for her life. She shot Crutcher once in the chest, and he died later that evening.

Shelby was charged with first-degree manslaughter on Sept. 22, 2016, and if convicted could spend up to 20 years in prison.
