A BLACK man who was fatally shot by officers in south London following a police chase was unarmed, the police watchdog confirmed today.

Chris Kaba, 24, a soon-to-be father and Mobo award-nominated rapper, was shot in a residential street in Streatham Hill on Monday night by a firearms officer. 

Police deliberately crashed into Mr Kaba’s car to force it to stop before firing one shot.
