KENOSHA, Wis. (KABC) -- New video captures the moments leading up to the police shooting of a 29-year-old Black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday.



The footage, taken from a different angle than the initial video widely seen, shows Jacob Blake appearing to be on the ground beside the car.



It appears at least one police officer is attempting to physically restrain Blake while he is on the ground.



Blake later gets up and walks around the front of the car to the driver's seat. The footage does not show the shooting, but multiple gunshots are heard.
