Autopsy findings on boy shot by cop not released

King was shot and killed by Columbus police Wednesday evening.

A 13-year-old black boy has been shot dead by a white OH police officer for pulling out a toy gun while he was being chased after a $10 theft. In addition, it was discovered that the police officers at the scene were not wearing their body cameras. He says they did, but then Tyre got up and ran and was shot, the paper reported Friday.

Police initially responded to a report of an armed robbery of $10 in Columbus and found three male suspects matching descriptions given by the victim. Rice was a 12-year-old boy who was shot by a Cleveland police officer. The officers followed them into an alley when police say a suspect, later identified as Tyre, pulled a gun from his waistband, and an officer shot him several times.

City leaders in Ohio’s capital said the shooting would be investigated to determine whether the officer’s gunfire was justified. No officers were injured.

The 19-year-old friend, Demetrius Braxton, told The Columbus Dispatch that Tyre wanted to rob someone for money.

At a news conference Thursday, Jacobs displayed a photo of what she called a “replica” of the BB gun that Tyre had. He said there was a laser site under the gun barrel.

“[He’s] not coming back”, King’s sister said. “We robbed somebody, the people I was with”. She goes on to say that the city should step aside and let an independent party investigate the shooting in order to help erase any doubts.

Bell said Tyre was a small kid, just over five feet tall and never got into trouble.

“He started to run”. He said he had run away with him and was with him when the shooting occurred. “I didn’t think a cop would shoot”.

Police said Thursday that they couldn’t immediately provide other information from Mason’s personnel record.

A couple hundred people attended a vigil Thursday night for Tyre King, 13, who died after a police-involved shooting. The officers eventually caught up to them and tried to arrest them in an alley. The chief asked for patience in the city while the shooting was investigated.

Columbus has remained calm since King’s death.

“It’s a very hard time for the city, and we want to make sure we’re available to listen and answer questions”, city spokeswoman Robin Davis said.

“The family is obviously distraught by the murder of Tyre”, attorney Chanda L Brown said in the statement, which described him as a typical 13-year-old boy who was active in football, soccer, hockey and gymnastics.

“Our officers carry a gun that looks practically identical to this weapon”, said Jacobs, adding, “It turns out not to be a firearm, but as you can see, it looks like a firearm that can kill you”.

Walton said there are witnesses who contradict the police narrative. Two ran as the police approached. “One of them was ordered to show his hands and go to the ground, and he complied”.

“He is, you know, not happy about having to be in that situation, but at the end of the day he had to do what he had to do”, Pappas said. “That is the message that needs to be heard”.

“This is the last thing that a police officer wants to do in their career”.

Pappas said the officer involved in the shooting is regarded as a “really, really good officer”.

Ginther called the child’s death troubling and said it should be a “call to action for our entire community”.

Mason, 31, was hired in December of 2006. In 2012, while responding to a 911 call at a Columbus home, he fatally shot an armed man, Weiner said.
