The Met Police officer who was cleared of murder after shooting Chris Kaba will face a gross misconduct hearing, the police watchdog has said.

Sgt Martyn Blake, an officer in the specialist firearms unit MO19, shot Mr Kaba in the head after he tried to ram his way out of a police vehicle stop in Streatham on 5 September 2022.

Met Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said: “We made strong representations that he should not face any further action due to the extensive evidence tried and tested at court and the not guilty verdict returned by the jury.”

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said its decision was “based on examining all the evidence [and] views of all parties”.
