A BART police officer struggling to handcuff a 22-year-old man, stood up over the facedown Hayward resident and fired a single shot into his back while a handful of officers watched, a video taken by a train passenger apparently shows.
The attorney for the family of Oscar Grant III, fatally shot by an unidentified BART officer early New Years Day, said Sunday he plans to file a $25 million lawsuit against the department and asked prosecutors to consider filing murder charges against the officer.
The shooting occurred shortly before 2 a.m. Thursday after five officers responded to the Fruitvale station to reports of a fight on a train, officials said, though they have not confirmed whether Grant
was involved in the fight.
The new video, obtained by television station KTVU, shows two officers restraining a struggling suspect. While the man is lying face down on the ground, one officer appears to be seen pulling out a gun and firing a single shot into his back.

Glenn Schweitzer, the Academies director of Eurasian programs, was detained on 4 December by two men who identified themselves as security officials, according to a statement by the Academies.
He was interrogated for nine hours over two days in his Tehran hotel, before being allowed to leave Iran with the rest of the delegation on 7 December.
In a statement issued on 26 December, Skane also said that the Academies could not continue sending scientists to Iran until receiving clear assurances from Iran that it would guarantee their safety.
In the meantime, Skane said that due to the scientific importance of the exchanges, the Academies were prepared to arrange scientific...
