Provincial police chief of Kandahar Rahmatullah Atrafi said on Thursday that US troops shot and killed a man in Dand city on Wednesday.
The man came under fire when he was walking with his daughter on a road in the area, Atrafi said, adding that the child escaped unharmed.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) is yet to comment on the incident.
Anger with US-led foreign forces is climbing across Afghanistan over their attacks on civilians.
