The affidavit says Mr Crutcher was not responding to Officer Shelby's verbal commands and was walking away from her with his hands held up.
Prosecutors say Officer Shelby either killed the father-of-four impulsively in a fit of anger, or that she wrongly killed him as she sought to detain him.
Police acknowledge that Mr Crutcher did not have a gun on him or in his vehicle.
The affidavit also indicates that Officer Shelby "cleared the driver's side front" of Mr Crutcher's vehicle before she began interacting with him.
This would indicate she had checked whether there was a gun on the driver's side of the vehicle.
