A US police department has released body camera footage showing an officer fatally shooting a pregnant black woman in the parking lot of a grocery store two weeks ago, after she refused to exit her car and instead bumped him with her vehicle.

Video of the incident in Blendon Township in Ohio on August 24 followed demands by the family of the 21-year-old woman, Ta'Kiya Young, for the officer who fired the fatal shot to be held accountable.
