Chris Kaba was only 23 when he was pursued by armed police officers in a car chase and shot dead in Streatham, South London, at the beginning of September. Kaba – who was due to become a father and was part of the drill group 67 – was unarmed and died in hospital the next day.
Hundreds of people demonstrated outside New Scotland Yard on Saturday, echoing the calls of Kaba’s family for greater accountability. His family have described the Met Police killing as “totally racist” and are fundraising to continue the # JusticeforChrisKaba campaign.

The IOPC have launched a homicide investigation into his death and will determine whether his race played a part in how he was treated by officers. The firearms officer who fatally shot Kaba has since been suspended, though Met Police have been criticised for acting too slowly and not yet releasing the body cam footage.
The gathering on Saturday was just one of the dozen or so demonstrations that took place across the UK, including Leeds, Cardiff and Coventry. VICE photographer Aiyush Pachnanda was there to speak to those who had gathered in London to call for justice.
