Police body camera footage shows a large group of officers in Akron, Ohio, firing a storm of as many as 90 shots at Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black motorist who fled a minor traffic stop on foot earlier this week.
More than 60 of the bullets hit Mr Walker, according to reports of early autopsy evidence.
Akron mayor Dan Horrigan said he is "beyond outraged and beyond shocked" about what happened during the traffic stop, and called on community members to stay peaceful and wait for a full investigation of the incident.
"I am urging all our residents, please reserve your full judgment until the investigation is complete," Mr Horrigan said at the press conference. "You'll have to do one of the most difficult things I can ever ask somebody to do and that is to please be patient."
During the Sunday presentation, Akron police played video from officer body cameras and state highway cameras of the encounter.
Police say that Walker fled an attempted traffic stop on the early hours of last Monday morning, leading police on a car chase. As officers pursued in their cruisers, officials say police both heard and saw a gun shot flash out from Walker's car.
At the Sunday press conference, officers played video from a highway traffic camera which shows a grainy image of a flash coming from Walker's car.
"Shots fired, that vehicle just had a shot come out of its door," an officer can be heard saying on body camera footage.
Attorneys for Walker's family say they haven't seen evidence that Jayland fired at police. A handgun with a loaded magazine was recovered sitting on the front seat of the 25-year-old's car. Body camera footage then captures a group of eight officers pursue Walker through a parking lot as he begins to run away on foot.
According to police, officers first tried to use a Taser on the 25-year-old. Walker then "stopped and quickly turned" towards officers. Believing he was armed, they fired countless shots towards the man, police said, even though he was in fact unarmed at the time of the chase on foot.
The city canceled a planned 4 July celebration in light of the shooting.
"He was my skinny little nephew," Mr Walker's aunt Lajuana Walker Dawkins said at a news conference on Thursday. "And we miss him. We just want some answers."
