Time of Death: S1 E4 “The Whole World is Watching“

In one of most shocking and disturbing scenes in the entirety of the MCU, John Walker, who had just been named as the replacement for Steve Rogers as Captain America, used the edge of the shield to murder Nico, who was a member of the terrorist group The Flag Smashers. Just before this violent death, Flag Smasher leader Karli had accidentally killed Walker’s partner, Lemar Hoskins (Battlestar). This triggered the violent outburst from John Walker, who had just dosed himself up with the Super Soldier Serum. The sight of the blood at the bottom of Cap’s shield and th knowledge that he had probably decapitated the man was a brutal moment of the series.
