And yet another "martyr"

Somehow this doesn't seem to fit the narrative of innocent black men killed by the police for no reason...
"Last week, a Washington, D.C. police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Deon Kay.
The circumstances surrounding his death are straightforward, as the police bodycam video that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released the next day shows. After refusing to respond to an officer’s instructions to stop running, Kay, a handgun clearly visible in his right hand, ran towards an officer while making a sweeping motion with his arm. Kay might have been raising the weapon to fire or getting ready to throw the gun out of his hand; the officer had only a split second to make a decision and made the correct one: to stop an imminent deadly threat to his life from someone who was failing to respond to instructions from law enforcement."
