Cellphone footage shows the fateful moments in which an Ohio woman fatally shot another during a nighttime confrontation. The defendant, Akira Fletcher, 23, maintained self-defense, but Hamilton County prosecutors argued her killing Nyema Norton, 29, was murder.
Fletcher posted videos to Facebook, and though that footage is now deleted, both parts are together in the embed below.
Warning: The video is disturbing.
Norton and another woman are seen on video outside Fletcher’s vehicle in a parking lot during the July 12 incident. As previously reported, Fletcher wrote that she had called 911 twice.
“I was being punched in my face, rocks thrown at me, and Nyema trying to get in my car,” she wrote.
The video shows the women and Fletcher taunting one another. The women appeared to smash out Fletcher’s back window during the first video.
