Mr Kaba, who was not armed, had both hands on the steering wheel of his vehicle when he was shot in the head by firearms officer Martyn Blake in Streatham, south London, on 5 September 2022.
A helicopter and six police cars were involved in stopping Mr Kaba, 24, after the Audi he was driving had been linked to a shooting outside a school in nearby Brixton the previous evening.
Mr Kaba had turned into Kirkstall Gardens where Mr Blake was inside a marked police BMW.
The murder trial hinged on the following 17 seconds, when Mr Kaba reversed a short distance, hitting an unmarked police car behind, then accelerated forward, reaching an estimated 12mph before colliding with the BMW and a parked Tesla.
Armed officers were heard shouting “go, go, go” and “armed police, get out of the f***ing car,” as they surrounded Mr Kaba’s vehicle in footage played in court.
Mr Kaba then reversed at 8mph, hitting the unmarked Volvo behind, and was stationary as Mr Blake pulled the trigger of his gun less than a second later, followed by shouts of “shots fired” and “where from?”
Mr Kaba, who had no weapons in the car, died in hospital in the early hours of the next day after the bullet travelled through the windscreen and struck him in the head.
Speaking after Mr Blake was cleared of murder in October, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the officer made a split-second decision on what he thought was necessary “to protect his colleagues and to protect London”.
Prosecutors had argued Mr Blake, who was 40 at the time he was cleared, may have “become angry, frustrated and annoyed” and Mr Kaba had done nothing in the seconds before he was shot to justify his decision to pull the trigger.
