It’s Chrstimas Eve and instead of celebrating the holiday with family, Antonio Martin, 18 was shot and killed in a Mobil gas station parking lot, in Berkeley, Missouri by a police officer. The teen was then bagged, placed on a gurney and transported in a mini van. Allegedly, Martin was in possession of a gun, and had pulled it out on the officer.
Hit the jump for details.
The Associated Press details:
County police spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman says a Berkeley police officer was conducting a routine business check at a gas station around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday when he saw two men and approached them.
Schellman says one of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer. The officer fired several shots, striking and fatally wounding the man. Schellman says that the second person fled and that the deceased man’s handgun has been recovered.
CCTV footage from the Mobil gas station shows police pulling up, talking to a set of individuals and then it appears that Martin may have been holding something in his hand. You be the judge.
After the teens death, violence erupted, as Missouri residents are still in an uproar over the death of Michael Brown. Brown’s death was a mere five miles away from the latest stroke of black teen – vs – police officer death.
