Video footage from police-worn body cameras show two Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers yelling at 33-year-old Derrell Raney to show his hands and drop a gun he was holding just seconds before they shot and killed him. CMPD released video on Tuesday from the Nov. 5, 2021, shooting, as a result of a court petition for the footage by WSOC. According to additional information also released Tuesday by police, Raney had encountered police officers earlier in the day while experiencing a mental health issue. It appears Raney was killed almost instantly after being shot by police in the parking lot area of a shopping center on Albemarle Road in east Charlotte. Officers were already at the shopping center of a Food Lion and Walmart when they were called to assist a security guard who said Raney had pointed a gun at him. About 30 seconds pass between the officers pulling up to meet the guard standing near Raney and multiple shots being fired, including one that struck Raney’s head, as seen in the video footage released Tuesday. As police Officer Micah Edmunds exits his patrol car, his body-worn camera shows the unidentified guard telling him that Raney was pointing a gun. Edmunds asks “A real one?,” and the guard says he doesn’t know. Edmunds and Officer James Longworth — with guns drawn — walk toward Raney, who is sitting in a grassy area beside the parking lot. The officers, according to the video footage, yell at him multiple times to show his hands or “set it down,” referring to a handgun. About four seconds before firing, one of the officers repeats commands to “drop it” and tells Raney “it’s all good.” CMPD, in Tuesday’s statement, says Raney had the gun in his backpack, took it out and “partially concealed” it as officers approached before he started to “raise the firearm up in the direction of the officers.” The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation says it has completed its investigation into the shooting and delivered its file to the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office for review. “We have part of the investigation and await the full investigative file,” Meghan McDonald, spokeswoman for the Mecklenburg DA’s office. Just before 6 that morning, CMPD officers responded to another address, about 3 miles away in the 6700 block of Winding Cedar Trail. Raney called police after an argument with a family member and “was walking in the woods to get away from them,” police Sgt. Steve Winterhalter says in a prerecorded video. Raney also reported finding two dead bodies there, police said. Officers searched the area but found no bodies, according to CMPD. Members of CMPD’s Crisis Intervention Team also responded and urged Raney to be evaluated at a hospital, “but he refused any kind of treatment,” Winterhalter said. The officers found Raney to be lucid and “did not appear to want to hurt himself or anyone else,” so they had no cause to seek involuntary commitment papers on the family’s behalf, the sergeant said.
