Video -Body Cam Officer Involved in Fatal Shooting - Columbus Police

  Kareem Ali Nadir Jones was shot by two officers after a confrontation

Body camera video of a confrontation in which police officers shot and mortally wounded a man was released on Thursday.

Columbus police released video of the July 7 confrontation between two officers and 30-year-old Kareem Ali Nadir Jones. Jones died Monday from his injuries.

Police say two officers encountered Jones walking between cars and behaving erratically. Police have said the officers fired at Jones when their conversation with him escalated and they felt threatened.

Police on Thursday slowed the video frame by frame at times while displaying it to media outlets. The video appears to show Jones with his hands up backing away from the officers, who have their guns drawn. It also shows Jones when he appeared to reach for a gun in his waistband and was shot several times by police.

A stolen 9mm handgun was recovered at the scene, police said. Witnesses said Jones wouldn't follow the officers' commands to get on the ground, according to police.

Jones' sister, Marica Phipps, said she believes Jones was trying to toss the gun. She said his family wants to know why police didn't use a stun gun when he had his hands in the air.

"Our family has been waiting to see those cams because we thought they were going to give us some answers, and we have more questions now than anything," Phipps said.

Jason Pappas, president of the Fraternal Order of Police in Columbus, told WBNS-TV that the officers knew Jones had a gun and police training dictates that officers draw their weapons, not stun guns, when a suspect is armed.

Police say the investigation is continuing.

Kareem Ali Nadir Jones spent nearly three years in Ohio juvenile correctional facilities before authorities discovered he wasn't who he said he was -- nor was he a juvenile.

Kareem Ali Nadir Jones.

Cuyahoga County prosecutors said Jones, who was 19 years old when police in Franklin County arrested him on drug charges in 2006, stole the identity of Brandan Lamar Feaster -- his childhood friend -- to avoid being prosecuted as an adult.

Jones, now 22, was transferred in March to the Cuyahoga Hills Juvenile Correctional Facility in Highland Hills, and shortly thereafter a call from an anonymous tipster revealed his true identity.

He was indicted last month in Common Pleas Court on charges of identity fraud, tampering with records and theft. The theft charge was lodged in an attempt to hold him responsible for the high cost of housing him for 92 days as a juvenile in Cuyahoga County, a prosecutor's spokesman said. That includes $5,000 in medical expenses and $236 a day -- nearly three times the cost of adult incarceration.

Jones was first arrested during a routine traffic stop in Franklin County in April 2006, when police discovered 1,000 grams of powder cocaine, 100 grams of crack cocaine and two guns in his car.

When asked for his name, Jones told police he was 16 and that his name was Brandan Feaster -- a close friend from his hometown of Spartanburg, S.C. A spokeswoman for the Franklin County prosecutor's office said Jones provided officers with a Pennsylvania birth certificate identifying him as Feaster.

Jones was prosecuted as a juvenile and sentenced to four years
