A “FRUSTRATED” Met Police marksman “unjustifiably” shot a rapper in the head with the intent to kill as he sat in a stationary car, a court heard.
Kaba, 24, was killed by a single gunshot following a pursuit in Streatham, South London, on September 5, 2022.
He had been trying to escape a police “hard stop” in his Audi when firearms officer Martyn Blake shot through his windscreen.
Jurors heard the decision to shoot Kaba, who was months away from becoming a dad, was “not reasonably justified or justifiable”.
Blake, 40, has gone on trial at the Old Bailey charged with murder, which he denies.
Opening the case today, Prosecutor Tom Little KC said it should be a “remedy of last resort” for a firearms cop to shoot and kill.
But he added: “The body-worn footage and footage from cameras on police vehicles reveals, we say, that it was not necessary to shoot.
“The immediate risk to both the defendant and his fellow officers at the scene did not, we say, justify at the point when the trigger was pulled, firing a bullet into the vehicle that Chris Kaba was driving.
“That is why, we say, that this is a case of murder rather than the use of lawful self-defence or lawful defence of another by the defendant.”
The Old Bailey was told Blake may have become “angry, frustrated and annoyed” by Kaba refusing to obey requests made by the police.
Jurors heard he had at one point reversed a short distance backwards – striking the front of a police car that was blocking him in.
Kaba had also previously attempted to drive forwards but there was not enough space to get through.
But the court was told that at the point the rapper was shot, his car was stationary.
Mr Little said: “There can be no doubt that the defendant must have intended to incapacitate and we say, to kill Chris Kaba.
“He shot him once straight to the head. He was trained to use a firearm and if necessary to shoot knowing that almost inevitably death would follow and that is what he did.
“The defendant did this when Chris Kaba was sitting in the driver’s seat of an Audi motor vehicle with both of his hands on the steering wheel.”
The prosecutor said Kaba did nothing in the second he was shot that “justified this defendant’s decision to shoot”.
Kaba’s mum was comforted by family members as the case was opened this afternoon.
Blake denies murder and the trial continues.

JUDE BELLINGHAM was stunned by his brother’s wondergoal for Sunderland.
And fans asked “what are these genetics” as the siblings’ success continues to soar.

Jobe Bellingham, 19, scored a screamer to break the deadlock in Sunderland’s 2-0 win over Derby on Tuesday night.
He let fly and rifled into the top corner from 25 yards out five minutes before the break.
Wilson Isidor got the second on 55 minutes and the win sent the Black Cats to the top of the Championship table.
But it was the younger Bellingham brother’s first goal of the season that grabbed the attention – including from his Real Madrid sibling.
Jude retweeted a video of the goal and captioned it with three emojis blowing a puff of air – showing his approval.
He then followed that up by sharing a picture of his brother celebrating the goal and adding: “Boy is different,” followed by a rocket emoji.
Fans also took to social media to heap praise on the Sunderland star’s heroics.
One said: “Jobe Bellingham with an absolute SCREAMER. What are these genetics?”

Another wrote: “Like his big bro, that.”
A third added: “He’s going to be better than his brother.”
And a final user replied: “@England Might as well put him in the side now lads because he’s going to be in it anyway soon enough.”
Jobe, who joined Sunderland from Birmingham in 2023, is an England Under-20 international.
Bellingham said: “I’ve got to be a bit more mature and disciplined and I had to slot in as a No6 against Portsmouth. That was a good lesson for me and I really enjoyed it.
“I enjoy getting up and down the pitch, which I’ve still got the licence to do, but off the ball I can make tackles but I’ve got to be a bit more deep, which I don’t mind. I’m really enjoying it.”
He continued: “My all-round game has definitely improved from last year and the one part that was missing, which was one of my best parts from last year, was arriving in the box.
“That’s something that I want to keep doing, I don’t want that to leave my game because that’s how you impact the outcome of the game and you help your team.
“So, I wanna keep on scoring goals but it’s not the be all and end all as long as we are winning games but I’m really glad that I can help the team in other departments.”
Jude will be hoping to replicate his brother’s antics when holders Real Madrid take on Lille in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The £115million man is yet to find the net in his six appearances so far this term.
