The video shows North Miami Beach police Sgt. Jonathan Wilson shoot and kill Edridge Alexis, 38, as he held a woman at knifepoint. He fired after Alexis made a slight movement.
In the minutes prior to the shooting, officers had pleaded with him to release the victim, who was at the building for an appointment.
Family members of Alexis said he had mental issues.
