The Met police officer who shot Chris Kaba will not face misconduct proceedings, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has said. Sgt Martyn Blake shot the 24-year-old in Streatham, south London, in 2022 after Kaba tried to ram his way past police cars. Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the IOPC's decision brought an end to "almost four years of uncertainty" for Blake, calling the accountability process for police officers "disgraceful". In June the use of force test in such cases changed from the civil law test to the criminal law test, meaning actions that did not amount to a crime should not amount to misconduct either. "We also recognise the profound impact on Chris Kaba's family, who continue to grieve their loss."
