Chris Kaba, 24, died after he was shot following a Metropolitan Police car chase in Streatham Hill on Monday evening, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said in a statement Wednesday.
Armed police attempted to stop the vehicle that Kaba was in after an automatic number plate recognition camera indicated that the vehicle was linked to a previous firearms incident, the IOPC said.
