The newly released footage showed 41-year-old Desire Pool being struck and killed by the Houston Police cruiser as she crossed the street with her son and daughter at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 19, ABC 13 reported.
The dashcam captured the officer, Shelby Kennedy, driving down the street as Pool and her kids suddenly came into view.
The cop plowed into the mom-of-four at full speed as her children managed to jump out of the way, the clip shows.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, my f–king God. You didn’t see them?” Kennedy’s partner, officer Joshua Rosales, shouted just seconds after Pool was hit.
“No,” Kennedy responded.
“Oh my f–king God, Kennedy,” Rosales repeated.
Kennedy’s bodycam captured the victim’s distraught children sobbing uncontrollably as the officers performed CRP on her.
“My mom! Y’all killed my mom,” one of the kids could be heard shouting.
“Mama, do not die on me… Come on, pray, pray.”
Pool was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead, authorities said.
Police said the two officers were transporting an arrested suspect to the precinct when the crash unfolded.
Investigators don’t believe speed was a factor but haven’t disclosed how fast the officer was driving at the time.
The department is still probing the crash.
