Police officer charged in fatal shooting of unarmed man who had just survived car accident

A North Carolina police officer was charged with voluntary manslaughter on Saturday after police say he fatally shot an unarmed man who had apparently just survived a car crash in Charlotte and was looking for help.

The victim, Jonathan Ferrell, a 24-year-old former Florida A&M University football player, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene early Saturday morning.

The 27-year-old officer, Randall Kerrick, turned himself into police late Saturday. He was released on a $50,000 bond.

This is awful. I haven't looked for any additional information yet, but who is the woman they are talking about? Another person involved in the auto crash? I'll have to see if I can find a more in depth article. Another lost of a young life, gunned down with cause. :(
