Las Vegas police shot and killed an unarmed man New Year’s Eve after mistaking his cellphone for a gun. Police responded after deputy U.S. marshals said they were pursuing a fugitive wanted for attempted murder. But the man, Keith Childress, was not wanted for attempted murder; he had skipped a court date in Arizona after being convicted of other charges. Police body camera video shows an officer telling Childress to drop his gun, which turned out to be a phone. The other officer involved failed to activate his body camera.
