It's been a year since Salt Lake City police Officer Matthew Taylor shot and killed James Barker, 42, during an altercation that involved Barker wielding a snow shovel as a weapon. Taylor's body-mounted camera showed that Barker swung his snow shovel at the officer, but the footage cut out before Taylor fired the fatal shots, according to the New York Daily News.
Taylor was cleared of any wrongdoing in February.
On Friday, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill released new cell phone footage of the incident and announced plans to reopen an investigation into Taylor's actions. The video appears to show the officer standing over Barker -- who appears to be lying motionless, facedown and handcuffed -- and firing at least two shots.
His office is still trying to determine why they weren't made aware of the cell phone video during the initial case. It's not yet clear whether Taylor will be charged.
